Description of execution
As part of the construction project for the Olympic Training Centre in Zakopane, we were responsible for the production, delivery and assembly of 62 prefabricated columns, which formed the main supporting structure of the sports hall. Most of the elements were an impressive 20 metres long and weighed up to 55 tonnes, with a base measuring 1.5 x 0.9 metres.
Due to the size of the elements, it was important to plan and coordinate the transport process properly. Junctions, roundabouts, narrow streets, as well as viaducts or bridges posed a challenge during the transport of prefabricated concrete elements.
In some cases, special authorisations for the transport of oversized loads and special changes to the road infrastructure or even temporary road closures were necessary. All these difficulties required precise planning and strict adherence to regulations to ensure efficient and safe transport.
Thanks to the use of prefabrication technology, assembly was possible in winter conditions, which was crucial for this project. The only difficulty was the distance between the assembly platform and the place of assembly. The whole process, from obtaining the construction permit to the completion of the assembly of the pillars, took only 3.5 months.
