"This is to confirm that Stroi International, JSC (Krasnodar, Russian Federation) was nominated as the General Contractor for completion of construction of the Cardiological and Cardiosurgical Center in Krasnodar. The project (30 000 sq. m.) was started by VAMED Engineering GmbH and other companies in 1989 and then put on hold due to the economical problems in Russian Federation. The project was finally resumed in 2001 and successfully completed in 2002 for record nine months, having received a lot of local and federal coverage and publicity as one of the best clinics in Russia.
As the building was in a bad shape and design documentation was partly missing Stroi International started with investigations and thorough inspection of building systems, networks and parts to be reconstructed. Taking into consideration the very specific nature of the project, Stroi's specialists visited similar hospitals in Moscow and in Vienna/Austria where they precisely studied the organization and functioning of the operational theatres, resuscitation rooms and intensive care units. The acquired Know-How was implemented in the following scope of the purely medical purpose:
- Installation of the tambour-sluice automatic doors in operational theatres;
- Installation of laminar flows inside the operational theatres which create the excess pressure in the room preventing the intake of polluted air from outside;
All civil and specialized works were performed well, with required quality and at the European level, rapid deliveries of materials and equipment and good tempo at the jobsite resulting in the completion of the whole project three months earlier than previously planned.
Also, Stroi International together with Vamed Engineering GmbH & CO KG coordinated the delivery of the sophisticated medical equipment which included many "latest state-of-the-art" items from world leaders in production of medical technology.
As the Company has a good experience with foreign contracts, so all related activities like preparation of contractual agreements, negotiations, translation of the medical specs, custom clearance procedure of medical equipment, coordination among the Client, subcontractors and vendors were done professionally and timely.
We can recommend Stroi International as a reliable and obligatory partner and a professional contractor for performance of projects of any complexity and type including projects with involvement of foreign clients and vendors."
