In 2017, the foundation stone was laid for Thailand’s new mega project. A complete metro line is to be built within seven years. At Easter time, the new MRT Orange Line is scheduled to open in 2024.

New construction and extension to the existing metro network

In total, the Orange Line is to be 35.86 km long and have 29 individual above-ground and underground metro stations. The first phase of construction is 23 km long and includes 17 of the 29 stations. About 14 km of the line will be underground with twin single-track tunnels, and about 9 km will be overground. The line will then start at the Taling Chan underground station west of the city centre, cross under the Chao Phraya River near the Somdet Phra Pin Klao Bridge and will connect to the MRTA depot located at the authority’s current office building. Further east, the planned Yellow Line is crossed at Lam Sari station. At Khlong Ban Ma station, the line merges into the elevated section and finally ends at Suwinthawong station.

Start of Kalzip installation in January 2021

A complete roofing concept was planned for the sections of the elevated railway line. For the 7 overground stations, Design Concept Co. Ltd planned with a hard roofing that should be sustainable and durable. It quickly became clear that a Kalzip roof was the right choice. The first roofing sheets for the first of the 7 stations were delivered in January 2021.

Kalzip clads the Elementary School Altzaga in Erandio, Spain

The elementary school Altzaga impresses with its mix of classical and modern building materials

The extension of the Ikastola ( elementary school ) Altzaga was planned by the architectural office AZAB and replaces the current school gym. Although the general outline of the building has been retained. The architecture of the building is contrary to the existing buildings. Finally, the general structure and the clarity of the corridors on both the first and ground floors have been preserved.

The terminal itself is located directly on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The construction of the terminal will enable a new 14-day South Pacific route for cruise ship operators.

In order to comply the current regulations, the inner staircase core was relocated. An lift and emergency exits were integrated into the head walls. The outlines of the former building from 1988 should be reflected in the extension and have to combine modern, new elements with the existing ones.

The mixture of classic building materials used, such as the red brick, the red tiled roof in combination with Kalzip standing seam façade in the RAL colours 9006; 9007 and 7016 initially seems unusual, but it becomes increasingly fascinating at a closer look.

A total of approx. 2000 sqm of Kalzip 65/400, partly perforated with RV 3/5, were installed on the roof and façade.

The Ikastola Altzaga in Ernadio shows how easy traditional building materials can be combined with modern ones.

City of Erandio

Cubiertas y Aislamientos Riojanos, S.L.

 

 

Three RAL colours were used for the roof and the façade. Perforated Kalzip profiled sheets were also installed in the front part of the building.

The combination of the individual building materials can be seen here. The mixture of classic and modern materials harmonises perfectly with each other.

Kempegowda International Airport – Terminal 2

Kalzip supplies material for the “Garden City of India”.

The new Terminal T2 at Kempegowda International Airport in Bangaluru, India, was designed as a garden in the Garden Concept. After completion of the first construction phase, it will be around 255,000 square meters in size and connect travelers with nature. Trees, small gardens and ponds with local and exotic plant species form the interior.

Plant bells hang from the ceiling at the entrance, at check-in and at the security checkpoint. Beyond these rooms, a large indoor garden with waterfalls will form the gateway to the sales rooms.

The shopping area is connected to the gates by the terminal’s characteristic room – a huge, three-storey “forest belt” designed to create a soothing nature experience for departing and arriving passengers. The materials for the interior are designed close to nature.

Designed as a roof, the roof consists of 11 fields and a supporting ceiling, acoustic panel, insulation panel, sealing line and Kalzip 65 / 400 to meet the acoustic and thermal requirements according to LEED. The roof is interspersed with 195 skylights to allow natural daylight. Kalzip is very proud to contribute to an innovative and renowned project like this.

 

The roof structure of the SD135/310 (overstretched 3000 mm c/c, in the color Benjamin Moore 1110) is in line with the open bamboo ceiling.

Kalzip shares its expertise with Normek FC Facade is now also produced and distributed in Finland

Normek is further developing its product portfolio in the area of building envelopes and is thus expanding further in Scandinavia: The Normek production plant in Alavus now has a FC facade production line from Kalzip. With the support of the German colleagues, the first FC facade order was successfully completed.

The patented Kalzip FC facade system continues the development of the suspended, ventilated metal facade for an intelligent building envelope and sets standards in terms of flexibility, ease of assembly and cost-effectiveness.

With the Kalzip FC facade system, architects and planners have a variable and at the same time installation-friendly construction product available for the implementation of new construction and renovation projects.

The intelligent assembly technology saves time on the construction site. The easy clicking on of the system components makes assembly particularly economical. The freely selectable mounting direction from top to bottom or from bottom to top brings absolute flexibility. FC Facade is suitable for installation on all substructures and is therefore often the most economical and structurally best solution.

FC Facade also scores points when it comes to dismantling: with the FC Toolkit, it is possible to replace individual, damaged or highly contaminated FC facade panels quickly and easily. Time- and cost-intensive dismantling of entire facade surfaces is no longer necessary and thus also makes maintenance very economical.
