The Concrete Association of Estonia has published a new guideline BÜ2-2017: Concrete and Reinforced Concrete. Specification, Technology, Quality, Conformity Assessment. It is a new, updated edition of the guideline of the Concrete Association published in 2006.

“Over the decade from the publication of the first edition of the BÜ2 there have been important changes in the legislation, standards as well as several instruction manuals of both the European Union and Estonia,” said Tiit Roots, chairman of the management board of the Concrete Association of Estonia. “Publishing the new, updated guideline is relevant and necessary in every way,” Roots added.

Authors of the guideline are Associate Professor Emeritus Toomas Laur and Professor Irene Lill of the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the School of Engineering of the Tallinn University of Technology.

"All instructions from the Concrete Company, including BÜ2, have been designed with the aim of helping building contractors, designers and builders, and in this regard, due to the lack of Estonian national building norms, it is intended to fill this gap," said Toomas Laur. "In reference to the contracts, the guidelines could be binding on the assessment of the quality of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. Guides can also be manuals for manufacturers and other points of contact with concrete and reinforced concrete structures, including universities and vocational training centers, "added Laur.

According to Toomas Laur, the instructions of the Concrete Association could be accepted by the parties of the construction process in carrying out corresponding technical-economic analyzes, concluding works contracts or taking other relevant decisions.

Book appearance data:
Compilers: Toomas Laur, Irene Lill;
119 lk;
Designer: Eneken Moorlat;
Printed in AS Pakett in 500 copies
ISBN 978-9949-9993-0-9.

The new guideline is available at the Estonian Concrete Association as well as the Estonian Building Centre.

The Estonian Concrete Association is a association that promotes the use of concrete as a building material for domestic use, which includes 58 companies, organizations and private individuals.

CABRO team in co-operation with sister companies Parma OY and Swetrak AS erected containers for Finnish fish farm OY FinnForel in Varkaus.

Object: OY FinnForel’s fish farming containers
Address: Varkaus, Soome
Customer: Parma OY
Contracting: design, elements, transport and assembly
Project manager: Kaido Kindel

Kaido Kindel (Project Manager of E-Betoonelement)“It was a fairly sizable contract. We installed seventeen 5.3 m tall containers for the fish farm, ten of which were nearly 560 m3 and seven of which nearly 260 m3 in size. The containers were installed in fairly tight conditions, which set certain restrictions on using equipment and assembling elements. Despite the tight schedule of the contract, assembly work went smoothly and the feedback from the customer was very positive.”

Acontank™ farm container comprises reinforced concrete modular wall elements. The manufacturing of these in the factory ensures the quality of elements, and the modular system ensures the operative assembly thereof at the site. The container is designed according to the customer’s specifications (required storage volume, usable operating technology) and in accordance with the conditions at the site (load bearing capacity and relief of the surface, level of soil water). More information here.

The container solution offered by the CABRO team includes a complete manufacturing cycle of the container from consultation and design to assembly and maintenance during the warranty period.

AS E-Betoonelement and AS TTP concluded contracts for design, production and installation of next three element dwellings in Pöörise residential area.

Object: Buildings in Pöörise residential quarter at the addresses Pöörise 14, 12 and 10
Completed: Buildings in Pöörise residential quarter at the addresses Pöörise 22, 20, 18 and 16, parking building
Location: Õismäe, Tallinn
Architects: Meeli Truu and Andres Kariste, Nord Projekt AS
Customer: TTP AS
Contract for services by AS E-Betoonelement: design, elements and installation
Project Manager: Toomas Böttcher
Sales: Aare Pärna

Sales director of E-Betoonelement Aare Pärna„In Pöörise residential area we have completed four element dwellings at the addresses Pöörise 22, 20, 18 and 16, as well as a parking building. AS TTP has ordered complete solutions of the buildings from E-Betoonelement, which include the design of element dwellings, production of elements and installation activities. Our cooperation has been very successful.
Contracts have been signed for next three buildings at the addresses Pöörise 14, 12, 10. The start of installation of a dwelling at the address Pöörise 14 is planned in the beginning of October, while other buildings will be installed immediately after the completion of the previous one.“

Construction director of AS TTP Herki Narusk: on the first two completed buildings: “I consider quality to be the most important, and the advantage of E-Betoonelement was the best price and quality ratio. E-Betoonelement and we are bound by long-term cooperation, and it has been positive and pleasant to both parties.
Mitmekorruseliste hoonete ehitamisel on olulised ehituse aeg ja kiirus - elementmaja saab kokku monteerida väga kiiresti. Elementidel on teostatud välisviimistlus, mistõttu ei ole vaja hiljem tellinguid ja soojustust eraldi paigaldada ning paneelid on seest siledad ega nõua paksu krohvikihti.
A complex service that offers design, manufacture of elements and assembly is the best option for the customer.”

See how the two first buildings in the Pöörise residential area were completed:

11.08.2016 Cooperation of AS E-Betoonelement and AS TTP will produce the fourth apartment block and a parking house in the Pöörise residential area

29.05.2015 Elements for two apartment buildings in the Pöörise residential area have been assembled
