Ruukki to Supply Components for Bridge Projects in Russia, Poland

11/16/2009 - Ruukki signs contracts to deliver components for bridge projects in Vladivostok, Russia, and Warsaw, Poland. It will provide the stiffening sections used in manufacturing the bridge structures.

Ruukki has signed contracts to deliver components for bridge projects in Vladivostok, Russia, and Warsaw, Poland—currently the largest such projects under way in the two countries, the company claims. Components will be made at Ruukki's Toijala plant in Finland.
 
The orders are worth a total of around EUR 3 million.
 
The Golden Horn Bridge will be almost 1.4 km long and is being built to link two districts in Vladivostok, which is preparing to host the 2012 APEC summit. The northern bridge under construction in Warsaw will be 800 meters long and spans the river Vistula. The bridge is scheduled for completion in 2011.
 
Ruukki will provide the stiffening sections used in manufacturing the bridge structures.
 
"In both projects, Ruukki and the bridge designers have worked together to optimize the structural solution chosen to ensure the best-value solutions. Most of the components to be supplied will be made of high-strength steel," said Sami Eronen, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure and Northern Europe, Ruukki Construction.
 
Ruukki's customer in Russia is Kurganstalmost JSC, and Vistal Gdynia S.A. in Poland. The two companies are responsible for delivering the steel structures to the respective main contractor. The designer of the Golden Horn Bridge is Giprostroymost/St Petersburg.
