Rautaruukki Oyj (HEL:RTRKS) Press release 2 October 2008
Rautaruukki is supplying and installing steel superstructures for a railway bridge which is part of a harbour improvement project in Narvik, Norway. Delivery includes a railway bridge section totalling 500 metres in length over 11 underground silos. The contract is valued at about EUR 4 million.
The ongoing project, known as SILA, is a large renovation project being carried out by LKAB of Sweden to improve facilities at Narvik harbour in Norway. The project includes construction of a new storage and loading facilities with 11 underground silos for iron products. Because the ore stockpiling facility is being built underground, the harbour infrastructure is at the same time being adapted for efficient handling and to accommodate larger product volumes.
In this project, Ruukki is working very closely with its customer NCC Construction AS. "An ability to handle the combination of production and on-site installation was the factor that clinched the deal for Ruukki. Another factor in Ruukki's favour was the work quality and a delivery time schedule that has been strictly adhered to," states Per Nautvik, Quality Manager from NCC Construction AS.
Ruukki's deliveries and installation work will be ready by the end of this year and the whole project will be completed in September 2009. Ruukki's delivery consists of 1500 tonnes of steel structures, which were made in the units in Ylivieska Finland and Sandnessjøen Norway.
