THE PROJECT:
In 2013 the Georgian- Swiss joint venture Healthy Water that bottles the famous mineral water Nabeghlavi and the spring water Bakhmaro decided to extend their factory in Nabeghlavi. The purpose was to increase the fillings volume from 70 mil. fillings per year in 2010 to 140 mil. fillings per year and also to start producing famous Austrian Rauch soft drinks, juice, ice tea and energy drinks. The water bottled at Nabeghlavi factory will be exported to 28 countries worldwide, among which Canada, China, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Turkey and Russia, while Rauch beverages will be exported to the Caucasus region.
In 2015 Synergy was appointed General Contractor- Design & Build for the project that includes a production facility, a warehouse, a hotel, offices, utility buildings (steam boiler, fire pump, waste water treatment plant, water borehole buildings, truck workshop, gatehouse, fuel tank, process tank farm, generator house, transformer house) and an external platform for truck parking. SYNERGY was involved in the project from the design stage and provided optimum solutions to incorporate the technical specifications of world- wide technology suppliers: Sweedish packing producer Tetrapack, German automatic bottling lines producer Krones and giant Turkish glass bottle producer Sisecam. The company also designed and built a 54 m long bridge over Nabeghlavi river, made of concrete in-situ piles, prefabricated beams and concrete and asphalt covering.
“Nabeghlavi was a challenging project, especially in terms of location, but it was a very rewarding project in terms of design. It was not easy to design a space able to fit such complex technology, but we worked closely with our partners Tetrapack, Krones and Sisecam and together we managed to find the best solutions for the project.” said Mr. Florin Lupu-Otelea Managing Partner of Optim Engineers, the partner of SYNERGY for design.
