By GlobalData“We are delighted to have been chosen to build a modern galvanising plant, which will be implemented with a life cycle-wise approach to energy efficiency and the diverse needs of the future.
“We worked closely with the client during the development phase to drive the project forward. This is reflected in the swift transition to the implementation phase.”
The design of the new production facility enables reduced emissions and energy consumption, and the excess energy generated by the plant’s processes will be collected and supplied to the district heating network.
Furthermore, the factory will leverage process technology to minimise raw material consumption and waste. A solar power system will also be installed in the building.
Aurajoki Oy CEO Ralf Sohlström said: “The building will become Europe’s most environmentally friendly and modern hot-dip galvanising plant.
“This is the largest investment in Aurajoki’s 55 years of history, based on utilising the best technology available worldwide.
“Maximising the environmental benefits will require some unusual construction technology, especially in technical building services, which play a key role in ensuring energy efficiency and exploiting the waste heat from the production process.”
