Looking forward to the announcement of the grand opening of Hard Rock Cafe in the heart of Nicosia, SKOUTARIS STEEEL is pleased to have participated in this project undertaking various steel works (stair case, roof garden structure, bar, etc.). However, what makes us particularly proud is the imposing 10m height guitar that dominates the entrance of the building. The famous guitar is not manufactured abroad as many may think, but it is the result of hard and collective work of all departments of our company (design, manufacture and erection), maintaining very high standards.

Works have commenced on the crossing footbridge in the area of the old G.S.O stadium, which will link the two sides of the promenade of Limassol. The bridge is a composite construction, made up of a 25m long steel truss, while rested on 35 circular steel columns of 324mm in diameter. Architect of the project is Mrs. Margarita Danou while the civil engineering office is A&F Hyperstatic Engineering Design Ltd.

The works have successfully completed for the new ‘Costas Christodouias Co Ltd’ warehouse at Sopaz Industrial Area. According to InBusiness magazine, is the highest warehouse in Cyprus, since the height reaches up to 18m. As part of the continuous upgrading and enhancement of our services, our company undertook in collaboration with the Israeli company AGS A-Gilat-Systems Ltd the assembly of a shelving system for storage pallets. The shelves were imported to Cyprus from the Spanish company Mecalux.

Axiothea’s Cultural Center of the University of Cyprus openings took place on 18th June in old Nicosia. The building is located in the heart of the historic city center, very close to the buffer zone. Our company has contributed to the restoration of this historic area with various steel and supplementary works, such as the very demanding structure of the stands for the amphitheater. The very unique characteristics of the area, as well as the restricted access to large vehicles and lifting machinery, increased the difficulty of the construction. However, accurate analysis of the design, excellent coordination with the main contractor and great care and diligence in carrying out the works, have contributed to face and successfully complete this challenge.

In regards to the company’s principles on continuous training and education, 12 technicians of our erection crews attended on Saturday 2/6/2012 the first of a series of health and safety courses: “Theory and practice for working at heights and rooftops.” The training courses are held by the company Filkost Services.

Loukia & Michael Zampelas Art Museum openings took place on 17th May 2012 in Kaimakli. It was with our great pride to notice the high guests of the event admiring the whole structure, though what particularly impressed was the 24m long bridge connecting the old with the new building. This is an exceptional structure of a steel frame in a glass envelope. Due to the structure’s complexity and technical difficulties, a detailed analysis of the model was necessary as well as continuous coordination with the architect and engineer to resolve all issues arising. Furthermore, as a consequence of the structural weakness of the old building, the structure is self supported and stands only on the new building, while the required support is ensured using the German tension rod system DETAN.

Contracts have been signed for construction and installation of a steel hangar for total area of ​​10560sq.m. and weight 286tn, for the new state-of-the-art developments of the roof tile company A. Kasapis Ltd at Vasiliko.

Works have commenced on the development of the new offices, showrooms and industrial unit of C & C Londou Bros in Aradippou.
