A new dunnage system will be installed over the existing roof to support a modular air handling unit penthouse.

Skanska stated that the existing roof will be raised to enable additional equipment support areas and API manufacturing heights.

Construction work on the project is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of next year.

Recently, the construction company announced €22m investment in a residential development project in Helsinki, Finland.

Located in the new area of Kruunuvuori, the development comprises 61 apartments.

Solar panels will be installed on the roof of the development to generate electricity, which will be used by the property.

Construction work of the project is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
