Big projects & their impact. The case of AIR ALBANIA.

Air Albania is one of those buildings that cannot go unnoticed when you visit Tirana.

 

What catches the eye even more, is the 112-meter high tower (24 floors) in the corner of the stadium structure, which today is one of the tallest towers in Albania. This building of these dimensions was entrusted to Ales Construction for the construction of the reinforced concrete structure.

 

The importance of mega projects extends beyond physical presence. They serve as catalysts for the country’s economic growth, investment promotion and job creation. In the case of Tirana, the construction of such a magnificent facility has not only improved the city’s infrastructure, but has also strengthened the country’s reputation on the international stage.

 

Moreover, such projects have a deep impact on society by nurturing the sense of nationality among Albanians. Today this place serves as a gathering point for sports enthusiasts, cultural events and concerts, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

 

The construction of large projects often has challenges, especially when it comes to the implementation of reinforced concrete structures. In addition to strength and durability, its application in projects of such a scale requires careful planning, expertise and adherence to strict engineering standards.

 

In the case of tall structures such as the Air Albania Stadium tower, specialized molds and pumping systems were implemented for the efficient placement of concrete at great heights.

 

Beyond the challenges, the successful completion of this project showed once again how Ales Construction’s expertise in the construction industry helped complete the skyline of the city of Tirana with another identifying symbol.

Myths about the construction industry Revealing the truth.

The construction industry is one of the main pillars of a country’s development, and yet, as in any field, there is misinformation and misconceptions created over the years.

 

We thought this article would be the ‘place and the moment’ to dispel some of the most heard myths about this industry by shedding some ‘light’ on the truth.

 

Construction is purely manual work. Construction is a complex of skills intertwined with each other, where each of them has its own importance and cannot work separately. It is one of those industries where precision and craftsmanship are essential.

 

Starting a construction company is easy. Like any business, many construction companies fail to have longevity in the industry. Not from a lack of experience, but from a lack of understanding of what is really required to manage a company. Finding the right projects, managing people, money, bureaucracies, etc. are aspects that determine the continuity of a company’s success.

 

Construction companies take shortcuts. When dealing with companies that already have a reputation, mistakes are costly, so they have no choice but to prioritize quality, safety, high-end materials and skilled labor in order to maintain their name and the lifespan of the company itself.

 

There is no need for creativity in construction. Far from being mundane, construction is a combination of technical expertise, artistic vision and problem-solving skills. Architects, engineers and builders collaborate to bring creative designs to life, turning them into architectural masterpieces. A dynamic and creative industry where innovation thrives and every project is an opportunity to create something special.
