| Tondach Gleinstätten delivers clay roof tiles for Sochi  The 2014 Olympic Games project "Gornaya Karusel" in Sochi, Russia, will be covered by a clay roof from Tondach Gleinstätten, the leading producer of clay roof solutions in Central and Southeastern Europe. Last year Tondach was awarded one of the largest contracts in its history: the construction of the roof for the Gornaya Karusel. The first delivery of roof tiles and accessories has now been shipped on schedule to Russia.The "Gornaya Karusel" is a sport and tourism complex that will also house the Olympic media village. The building is scheduled for completion in 2013 and has roughly 160,000 m² of roof areas, which will be covered with various roof tiles and accessories including ventilators, ridges and snow guard systems, etc. made by Tondach Gleinstätten. The main roof areas will be covered with "VENUS RV3", a clay roof tile that was developed especially for this project by Tondach. This roof tile was specifically adapted to the needs and requirements of the Russian architects, the general contractor as well as the local roofers. Preparations for the Olympic Games in 2014 will include the renovation of existing buildings in the Sochi region - and Tondach has also been successful in these projects. The 6,500 m² roof of the luxury hotel PEAK in Krasnaya Polyana will be renovated and covered with red, engobed beaver roof tiles. Safety and protection with double coverage as well as a traditional appearance were the convincing points for the customer. Tondach Gleinstätten AG, which is headquartered in Gleinstätten (Styria), has approx. 2,300 employees in 11 European countries. As one of the leading producers of clay roof tiles, the company recorded consolidated revenues of approx. € 191 million in 2011. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
