This is the construction of the new production facility for the new line called Plaxil 8. It consists of an impressive building with a length of about 300 metres, which has the function of containing the longest press in Europe for the production of MDF, with a length of 65 metres.
In addition to the massive size of the project, a special feature was the installation of the top element, which was completely pre-assembled including wall cladding and plant part, with a total launch weight of 215 tonnes.
This element (the size of an ordinary apartment building) was raised to an elevation of 48 metres in a single lift, after having been completely built on the ground.
