Time: Apr 4th  2017   Copy editor: Tyrefull

Continental recently held the First Piling Ceremony at its Greenfield tyre plant site at Rayong, Thailand.

With an investment of  € 250 million, the German tyre company will build up a new Greenfield Passenger and Light Truck Tires plant , which will will produce around 4.0 million passenger and light truck tyres per year for Thailand and the whole APAC region.

The first piling ceremony was organized according to local Thai culture and was led by Buddhist pharm who inaugurated the first piling laying foundation. The blessing ceremony should bring success to the project, the construction team and all involved and it marks the start of civil works at the site.

¡°The first piling ceremony represents the initial milestone in the start of civil works at the site for the new Greenfield Passenger and Light Truck Tires plant of Continental at Rayong, Thailand. I am honored to have the local pharm here at site and I would like to express my sincere ¡®thank you¡¯ for this first initial milestone, to the industrial park Hemaraj management, our local suppliers as well as our engineering team at Continental who have made the on-time start of piling foundation laying possible¡±, declared Michael Egner, the project leader.

¡°For this Greenfield plant we need to construct more than 2,500 piles with a depth of up to 14m in the ground. The piles are required to anchor the buildings in the soil. Once this is completed we will be ready to prepare the building foundations and to start the main construction works¡± highlighted Matthias Weiland, Technical Project Manager of the Rayong Greenfield tyres plant.

The size of the site is about 750,000 m2 which potentially allows an expansion to up to 25 million tires capacity per year.
