ORKUVEITA REYKJAVIKUR

We’re currently working on the remodeling of an office and service building – we’re doing a steel structure installation there in an office building in Reykjavik. The whole structure looks extremely impressive.

Interesting facts of the project straight from our engineers:

• Steel elements totaling about 86.4t.
• The weight of the largest single element is as much as 5t and length over 17m.

There we are engaged in creating a steel structure for landings and stairs connecting the various floors in the building. There are 6 floors, and our task is to make 5 levels. Our solution is non-trivial: We are using overhead cranes on opposing walls to assemble the support beams, since it is impossible to use a typical crane.

Today, a small crane with a width of 1.5m and an overhang of 16m arrived at the site, and we will use it for further assembly of the low-tonnage structure and for demolition of the stairs. The existing spiral staircase goes for demolition along with the steel column. The next stages of the construction are ahead of us!
