Fast, easy solutions for multi-storey construction.
We are experts in planning and building the foundation,
frame and envelope structures of multi-storey commercial
and ofce premises. Our total solutions and new
innovations in construction technology translate into
major benets for developers and investors, designers
and construction companies.

Solutions for multi-storey construction
We provide modern design tools and technical support
to make the work of designers easier. In the
construction stage, we are a responsible partner that
takes care of construction fast, efciently and safely,
from foundation to roong. This enables a quick start
to be made on the inside work.

Partnership that makes a visible difference.

Cooperation with us provides clear, measurable added
value. We make our international experience in steel
construction and design consultancy available to our
partners. By assuming responsibility for the
manufacture and installation of foundation, frame,
faades and roong, we reduce the risks involved in
dening the contract outline.
Our solutions help to improve the construction quality.
Our methods and technical solutions speed up
construction and make it more cost efcient. With less
parties involved in a project, the lower the nancial risks
involved. In addition to our technical solutions, our
extensive industrial prefabrication makes more efcient
use of the workforce and increases worksite safety.

Benefits of Ruukkis multi-storey construction:

Design is made easier with the help of 3D components and dimensioning tools
On-site installation is made simpler with practical and partly optional work stages that allow
fast construction and smooth overlaps
Comprehensive total deliveries reduce the number of subcontractors, organising and risks
The various parts and components t together well
Extensive prefabrication reduces the need for labour and improves work safety
The building is quickly ready for inside work to begin

Faster, safer, more efficiently. Solutions for multi-storey construction

Our promise of faster construction is the result of our innovations

to reduce the number of work stages in critical timetables, cut the
time it takes to carry them out and to overlap stages efficiently.
Steel foundations are quick to install, ready for immediate
erection of the frame. Installation of the envelope structure
can begin while the frame is still being constructed.
Inside work can begin quickly. Since the building
is quickly protected from the weather,
our methods are also suited to winter
construction. We use 3D and 4D
engineering methods in our
processes.

Foundations: a buildings steel roots.
Ruukki is a steel foundations expert. Our innovative
foundations solutions signicantly speed up
multi-storey construction. We have developed ideal
solutions for all foundation conditions from soft earth
to bare rock.
Foundation design is much faster because,
depending on the vertical load and soil conditions,
designers can choose a standard solution without
having to draft laborious piling and footing designs.
A pile foundation of steel piles and footing, ideal
for soft soils, is quick to install. Concreting can be

carried out when desired or partly omitted, depending
on soil conditions.
Our rock foundations are based on holes drilled
into the rock, in which steel tube foundations are
installed. This solution is especially fast and
environmentally friendly, as it greatly reduces the
amount of blasting required.
Both the innovative foundation solutions help
speed up construction signicantly because frame
installation can begin as soon as the pile footing or
rock-based solution is in place.
Benefits:
Optimised size and quantity of required steel piles
The pile footing is quick to install
Piles can be installed straight through to the bedrock
through almost all types of soil with minimal
positional deviations
Anchor bolts are installed accurately and permanently
The rock-base solution reduces the need for blasting
The amount of waste left over from construction is
drastically reduced

The steel frame. Practically the best solution.

Steel is a practical material for frames. Its strength
makes it the perfect choice for light, slender
structures. It leaves designers free to focus on more
challenging solutions in architecture and structures.
Large spans between piles create large, spacious
interiors that can be easily adapted for use.

A steel frame is quick to install. Careful design of the
frame structure and meticulous planning of
installation also improve safety for construction
workers. The edge beam application we have developed
makes it easier to cast slab edges, fasten safety rails
and to install faade elements.
