Bank of Estonia Gallery
Description
The Bank of Estonia Gallery is a spatial glass gallery in a steel structure, which is located in an enclosed interior courtyard and is a hidden architectural jewel. The spatial steel frame
was built in the factory, and thereafter, cut into sections for transporting purposes, delivered to the site and reassembled. This complicated assignment provided valuable experience.
A multifunctional hall, which is covered by a 68-meter wide roof shell of steel structures, makes it unique and the largest arena in Estonia. This was the first wide-spanned project and it presented a serious challenge to the designers, workers and installers at MARU. The 2001 Steel Structure Award presented by the Estonian Constructional Steelwork Association speaks for itself.
AS Maru Metall signed a contract with AS Merko Ehitus Eesti on 17th of August in 2011. According to the contract the biggest Waste to Energy plant in Baltics and the first in Estonia will be constructed. The contract includes manufacturing and erection of steel structures. Maru THM OÜ is responsible for erection works.
WTE Plant will be completed in 2013.
The roof structures built for the stadium’s spectator grandstands along with their light-transmitting profile tiles are an example of the advantages of steel as a material in creating an airy and light-filled structure. The construction work was planned taking the football schedule into consideration, and the challenge was to get the spectators under cover for the right time.
