German group ThyssenKrupp, which specializes in steel production, capital goods and services, has announced that ThyssenKrupp Bausysteme GmbH is currently supplying around 53,000 square meters of Hoesch Additive Floor® for a six-storey parking garage with roughly 2,000 parking spaces at the Bukovel skiing resort in western Ukraine.
The Hoesch Additive Floor® is a lightweight deck system consisting of steel profile panels which are subsequently topped with concrete. With a dead load of just 300 kilograms per square meter, the system is roughly 40 percent lighter than a solid concrete deck while offering comparable load bearing capacity.
The Hoesch Additive Floor® is made from galvanized steel sheet with a choice of polyester or PVDF coatings. The duplex coating system ensures high Class III corrosion protection in accordance with DIN 55928-8. For the parking garage in Bukovel, ThyssenKrupp Bausysteme is supplying additive floor elements with polyester coating.
Construction of the new garage in Bukovel is scheduled to take less than eight months.
The Bukovel project is the company's second biggest foreign order for the additive floor system and the first from a former Soviet Union country.
