“It is a perimetral structure building; furthermore, it is located in the city centre where traffic and pedestrian density is very high. That is why the construction works have to be carried out with respect towards drivers and pedestrians. Construction should be performed on a relatively small building territory. Before the start of the construction, we have performed a monitoring of the nearby buildings and groundwater level. We have also set up a construction pit 5 meters below the ground level. During the construction we are using bored piles and piling wall,” explains Member of the Board of LNK Industries JSC Jevgenijs Locovs.
“Astor Rezidence” building is located in the heart of the Latvian capital city – Riga, on the corner of Lacplesa Street and Krisjana Barona Street. This is a location with an excellent infrastructure - offices, shops, cafes and restaurants are located nearby. Riga International Airport is 20 minutes away by car, while the bus and train stations are just few minutes away. Nearby you will also find numerous schools, kindergartens, spa centres, fitness clubs, exhibition and concert halls and the Latvian National Opera.
