Vest Kran is participating in the building the world's most eco-friendly shopping center. We place great emphasis on safety and the job is carefully risk assessed and planned with our customer Skanska. Our goal is to make this project as eco-friendly as possible; an environmental budget is set up and all consumption is measured. Finally all CO2 emissions are measured, this is a new standard that Skanska follows.
The shopping center will be certified under BREEAM - NOR, as a BREEAM outstanding building. This is the highest certification in BREEAM - NOR.
The construction of the 24,500 sqm shopping center began in September 2012. The building will be completed in September 2014.
KLP Property vision is "the world's most eco-friendly shopping mall" and will act as an inspiration for visitors to display environmentally sound behavior.
There has been a lot of activity on the project with both mobile cranes, tower cranes and truck cranes and a crew of about 15 men. There are many activities going on simultaneously, so you always have to be careful to pay attention to the other players on the site. Our crew has worked systematically with health and safety and this has given very good results with minimal injuries and absences, and job satisfaction has been great.
The center contains, in addition to the mall, parking space and office space and four residential blocks with a total of 78 apartments on top of the building. One of the most important environmental initiatives demonstrated is that the roof is a 2,000 -square foot solar panel.
