Maru THM: installation of steel frames and roof racks
Description of frames: concrete posts
Description of roofing materials: 44 m long steel ferms
Description of wall constructions: sandwich panels
Location: Tallinn, Estonia
Completion date: 2001
Dimensions: 362 tons of steel, 68-meter span
The multifunctional Saku Suurhall with the largest bridgehead in Estonia, covered by a roof of 68 meters wide steel structures, is therefore the most original and largest hall in Estonia. This is the first large-scale project that posed a serious challenge to designers, manufacturers and installers of the Maru Group. The Estonian Steel Structural Society Award, received from the project, Steel Building 2001 speaks of its implementation.
Maru THM: installation of steel frames and roof rack.
Location: Riga, Latvia
Completion date: 2005
Dimensions: 700 tons of steel, 72-meter span
Maru Metall has produced steel structures for various wide-span buildings. Maru Metall manufactured the steel structures for two of the largest sports and entertainment arenas in the Baltic countries. The main arches of the Riga Arena, a multifunctional arena that was built for the Ice Hockey World Championship in 2006, span 72 meters. The entire roof structure weighs almost 700 tons. The design, production and assembly of complicated wide-span steel structures are an interesting challenge for our team.
Riga Arena, a multifunctional arena that was built for the Ice Hockey World Championship in 2006, is used primarily for ice hockey and basketball games and large concerts. The main arches of the sports arena, which has 10,000 m2 of floor space, span 72 meters. Based on the relatively large spaces between the columns and erection requirements, the main arches were constructed with spatial frames. Support junctions with a limited range of motion, which were specially designed for the structures, were used at half the arches’ points of support. An integrated constructive solution allowed the installation work to be completed a month earlier than planned and for money to be saved on erection work.
The entire roof structure weighs almost 700 tons. The job was recognized with the title of 2006 Steel Structure of the Year.
The structure is made of a steel and reinforced concrete composite that combines the good properties of both materials. Steel parts made under controlled conditions of a factory are filled with a concrete mix on the construction site. A good fire-resistant composite structure is the perfect solution for building multi-storey production and office buildings.
In spring 2016 Maru Metall AS signed an agreement to produce steel structures for a railway snow-shelter tunnel in Norway. The agreement covers about 80 t of steel constructions, which are installed in mountainous and abnormal conditions.
The buildings is with diverse and fascinating architecture and was completed with a steel and glass solution that symbolizes modernity and openness. The overall impression of the building is airy and since the frame does not take up much space, the cost of useful cubature is minimal.
The extension of Tallinn Airport was a responsible object, which was completed under great public attention. Maru Metall designed, manufactured and installed a 465 T-compliant roof structure with a complex technical solution. The international project was prepared in conditions where air traffic and passengers could not be disturbed.
