The establishment of Teltonikos Technology Center in Molėtai is planned soon — the last works on environmental management of the building are underway. The well-being of the technology center will have to meet the needs of half a thousand employees working here, so the environment has been entrusted to the company “Goodwill Projects”, which has 10 years of experience in this field.
Welfare specialists started with work inside the building
According to Antanas Magrin, director of the company “Goodwill Projects”, despite many years of experience and a number of completed works on the installation of business centers and city squares, Teltonikos Technology Center was one of the largest and most complex objects. The most interesting thing is that the company's work on the site did not start with prosperity — the craftsmen in Molėtai started their work in April, when they had to prepare the foundations for concreting the floor of the 7,000-square-meter building.
“At that time, the structures of the building were already built, so these works were difficult — special transport was needed to fit there and the foundations could be prepared,” says A. Magrinas.
The second and largest part of the works was carried out in September — the entire environment of the Teltonikos Technology Center was repaired. Around the building, as many as 9 thousand square meters of concrete pavers are laid, with their bases prepared for heavy (about 4.5 thousand square meters) and light (4.5 thousand square meters) transport. As a result, both the nature of the foundation preparation work and the thickness of the concrete tiles differed. Part of the tiles was laid mechanically, the rest was done by hand.
There will be no shortage of greenery around this center either — the employees of “Welfare Projects” are forming 2 thousand sq. m slopes, on which roll silks (dwarf plants) will be laid, and after clearing the plot and filling in an additional layer of black soil, 8 thousand sq. m of lawns, formed slopes, will be built 400 m long fence with two gates.
Since this facility required many different types of work, the head of “Goodwill Projects” estimates that since April, as many as 50 employees of the company of different specializations have worked here: 2 work managers, a 3D technician, mechanizers, tilers. Some of the employees of this company have seen a wide variety of plots and land — they have been involved in welfare management for 18 years.
Sand is suitable for resorts, but for wellness specialists it has become a headache
The charity company also used 3D technology in this facility.
“We only started using the 3D mini-grader autonomous control system Leica iCON iGD3 this year and it has fundamentally changed our work. We work on precise project development, guided by GNSS system or robotic tachometer. iCON class iGD3 system is designed for mini construction equipment and can significantly increase machine productivity and optimize material consumption. The system combines ease of use, flexibility and intuitive user interface,” says 3D equipment specialist Jonas Sunolaitis.
However, even the most modern technologies cannot change the composition of the soil: it was at the Technology Center that this became a significant challenge — when starting to prepare for laying the foundation stones, it was noticed that the sand and gravel base has practically no clay, it is very sandy. Most often we admire the sandy slopes and pine forests, especially when traveling through Molėtai, but where heavy transport will drive in the future, such soil did not promise anything good. I had to turn my head and finally lay a special net and water the gravel, compact it with various means, until finally the soil became stable enough for further work.
“I want to thank both the project managers (Contestus, Archis) and the clients (Teltonika) for such smooth work, cooperation, answers to questions. Arvydas Pauktys, the founder and president of the Teltonikos group of companies, came to the facility himself, was interested in the work being carried out,” Magrinas is happy with the successfully completed project.
During the construction of this Technology Center, the trees that grew on the site were preserved — one of them marked the central entrance of the building in a visualization of the project published two years ago. Employees of the company not only installed new lawns, but also pruned old trees on the plot, most of them managed to be preserved.
The difference from Vilnius business centers — more greenery
A fence and gates have been installed around the Technology Center, and the “Goodwill Projects” have to work outside the plot — sidewalks and bicycle paths for public use are installed along the territory — all residents of Molėtai will be able to use them.
At first glance, it might seem that in a region where the cost of land is not as high as in the capital and construction is less intensive, you could expand and install at least an entire botanical garden next to a business building. However, this Technology Center is framed on one side by a street and on the other by a block of individual dwellings. Nevertheless, the future employees of the center will be able to enjoy the greenery — this is how the creation of the environment was different from the usual work in Vilnius.
“Business centers in the capital are usually surrounded by concrete and have some greenery here and there in between. At this Technology Center, we aim to preserve pre-existing trees and existing landforms. The grove behind the building will separate it from individual dwellings. In the future, it is planned to plant trees around the entire building, wherever possible. The goal is to have as much greenery as possible,” said the head of Goodwill Projects.
One side is open to everyone, the other side is open only to the needs of employees
According to the interlocutor, it is currently being considered to further highlight the central entrance to the Technology Center by installing a fountain there. Benches for rest will also appear in this zone. On the parade side of the building, a cafe with an outdoor terrace will open its doors. And it won't just be for Teltonikos engineers — it will accommodate everyone who longs for steaming coffee.
At that time, in the rear or northern part of the building, areas reserved exclusively for the staff of this Centre are being installed: smoking canopies, benches, a gazebo for bicycles and electric scooters, which can also be recharged here.
Company experience: from roads of state importance to urban squares and university environments
The company “Goodwill Projects” has been working for a decade and specializes in paving, concreting, road construction, paving and landscaping, so its employees can solve such challenges quickly and with the guarantee that the pavers will last for at least 5 more years for pedestrians and pedestrians.
Recently, the company has also successfully completed the work of creating welfare around the modern business center “Doko” in Kaunas, renovated the environment of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, paved the sidewalks and square with concrete pavers, arranged the environment around the business buildings Varniu g. 5 and Jonavos g. 60, where it installed rain engineering nets, roadsides and lawns, parking spaces. The company installed 6 thousand square meters of parking under the M.K.Čiurlionis bridge, which was paved with concrete pavers and marked parking spaces.
The company's specialists have extensive experience in managing the country's roads, laying sidewalks and bicycle paths: in Kačerginė they reconstructed J.Janonis and J.Zikar streets together with sidewalks and pedestrian paths, installed concrete curbs and pavers in Kaunas P.Kalpoko Street, and reconstructed about 600 m of the national road Kaunas-Jurbarbar Kas-Šilutė (installed the sidewalks, prepared the foundations for the coating of concrete pavers and laid it).
The company also managed the environment of the KTU engineering lyceum, installed the central square of Elektrėnai, in the heritage project “Kaunakiemio apartamentai”, equipped the common spaces of Kaišiadorys, renovated the apartment block Topg. 2 Kaunas environment.
