Construction of Centre for the Offshore Industry Moves Forward
The building of the GMU Centre for the Offshore Industry on Roberto de Plelo street in Gdansk is taking shape.
The past four months (December 2021 to March 2022) have been mostly dedicated to the completion of work on the building’s foundations, including reinforcement, concreting, and isolation.
The backfilling between the foundations has been carried out and work has begun on the reinforced concrete walls. Sanitary, rainwater and underfloor installations have all been completed. The ceilings above the ground floor of the building have been installed, and a collision with the telecommunications network has been rectified.
Work has now begun on laying the external sewage system while reinforced concrete continues to be added to the ground floor and 1st-floor walls of the 1st building.
The development of the GMU Centre for the Offshore Industry on Gdansk’s Roberto de Plelo Street is one of the University’s strategic goals for the period 2020-2024. The Centre will provide the infrastructure and facilities for specialist research and development work to be carried out for the needs of the innovative maritime industry. Gdynia Maritime University is currently one of only a few Universities in the country involved in such work.
The GMU Centre for the Offshore Industry will house the certified laboratories of GMU’s Maritime Institute, the operation of which is part of the process of the preparation and realisation of investment in offshore wind power.
Located near the Wisłoujście Fortress, the Centre will be made up of two two-floor buildings linked by a first-floor skyway.
The value of the investment, including the equipment, is estimated at 50m PLN. The project is co-financed by European Union funds under the Regional Operational Programme for Pomerania 2014-2020, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
