Project Manager: Priit Kärner
Priit Kärner, the Assembly and Project Manager of AS E-Betoonelement: “It was the Customer’s desire to get all works, from foundations up to the closed framework, from the same company. Normally, we do not prepare foundations and floors ourselves, so these works are carried out by the subcontractors.
The facade elements are the most challenging part of the project, as they are very sensitive after the performance of patina stain finish. They require special treatment at the factory, by transportation and by assembly. The assembly work is started today and the topping out will be held in the week 25/12.
Cooperation with the customer has been constructive at which time we got positive feedback and the weaknesses have been pointed out. In this construction stage, we have learned from our mistakes and I hope that the customer will have reason for positive emotions only."
The facade elements of the building have obtained its orange outlook by patina stain finish and the internal surfaces are treated by steel floating.
AS E-Betoonelement delivers to the site TT-slabs, columns, beams and sandwich wall elements. The contract will be completed in June and the building is fully completed in the second half of the year 2012.
Palmse Mehaanikakoda is a mechanical engineering company that produces forest cranes and log trailers.

Within 30 weeks, about 2000 elements are delivered to the construction site by nearly 500 truck loads. Design and assembly at the site are carried out on our own merits. Design work is performed in a BIM environment (3D model) that improves the quality and quickness of design work.
Projekti üheks keerukamaks ülesandeks on, Tellija soovil, jätta tootmishoonetel ühel pool hoonet raudbetoonist välisseinad hilisemalt lahtikäidavad - fassaadi alumised kolm paneeli. Tekitatud avade kaudu on Tellijal hilisem võimalus seadmeid remontida ja välja vahetada. Tellijaks on rahvusvaheline suurfirma Wärtsilä Finland OY, kellega on koostöö konstruktiivne ja meeldiv."
Kiisa Emergency Reserve Power Plant is needed to ensure the supply of electricity for consumers in the event of an emergency. The power plant will not provide electricity on a day to day basis. The power plant will only be engaged if it is needed to ensure the security of supply to consumers in the event of an emergency in connections or production capacity.
AS E- Betoonelement will supply hollow core slabs, columns, beams, socle elements, internal and external wall elements. The assembly work of AS E-Betoonelement will be completed in October of this year. The first power plant is scheduled to be in operation in the spring 2013, with the second unit due to be operational by the autumn 2014.
