Building site Last year we were also part of the ice adventure. After the construction of world’s highest Ice Dome of 21 meters we defi nitely wanted more. Besides breaking a new world record,we found a lot of new opportunities. One of the thing we wanted to improve was the building side. The preparation of the year before was amazing, but as this year the project will be bigger,we needed it better organised. In the beginning of December 2015, we were already in Juuka to place the anchors which were supplied by JLD International, a Dutch company which operates a lot in the Netherlands. The fi rst day we put out the locations of the anchors on the building site, which was already prepared by the municipality of Juuka. Together with the local contractor Pielisen Maanrakennus, we fi nished this job in a couple of days. This year we worked with computer controlled air vans and an electric mixing system, and therefore needed some adjustments to the electricity network. For example, an automatically generator was installed, with the help of HSA oy and HydLub oy. Eventhough we had a whole team of mechanics from Summa College from Eindhoven in the 2 and 3 week, there were many things that needed to be done in advance. So with our drawings Metalli Palvelu, a local company that provides engineering and steel construction services, delivered a nice piece of work. During the building period we needed some heavy machinery, Hitachi, Rotator and Pekkaniska delivered a crane, shovel and two cherry pickers. With the right training we were allowed to use these machine on the building side. For all of us it was a huge experience to work with such impressive machinery. 16
