Upon completion of the “Grant scheme for SME’s for replacing low productivity job positions with high productivity job positions” of the Cyprus Productivity Centre, our company successfully organized the conference “Accelerating Growth”, which took place on Tuesday 30/07/2013 at Cleopatra Hotel. The event attracted the interest of a wide audience, mostly people in the construction and development sector (architects, engineers, contractors, etc.).

During this week all structural steel members (columns, beams, zet purlins, etc) of total weight of 38 tons for a gym in Lebanon are loaded and prepared for export. Skoutaris Steel Ltd was responsible for the design and fabrication of the structure, while the erection will be supervised by our technician who will travel to Beirut for this purpose.

The erection works of the imposing 25m long steel footbridge have completed at the area of the old G.S.O, over the promenade in Limassol. The lifting and installation procedure of the structure was particularly impressive, and it was performed in the early hours of Sunday in order to restrict the traffic on the busy avenue.

An impressive structure dominates the entrance of Dali High School since the last month. The 15m high steel tower consists of three welded parts, on which the physics teachers have placed a pendulum mechanism to execute experiments on oscillations. The steel tower was fabricated and erected in collaboration with Archimedes Ltd.

With high sense of responsibility, but also with great satisfaction we have successfully carried out the works for rebuilding the timber factory of G. Kofteros Industries Ltd, which was completely destroyed by a fire in October 2011. We wish to our good friend and associate, Mr. George Kofteros all the best for the further development of his company.

The erection of the steel frame extension above ‘Loxandra’ restaurant at Onasagorou Street in old Nicosia has completed.

The space restrictions and the difficulty of access for vehicles and lifting machinery resulted in higher risks and difficulties during construction. Nevertheless, with accurate planning, proper control and good coordination with all parties involved (employer, local authorities, associates), the project was completed successfully in time and to high performance.

Works have begun on the additions and reconstructions to the existing facilities of Demstar Automotive in Engomi Industrial Area. The project’s contractor is the company DEPCON Ltd.
