ZTC received “diamond” at Latvian Association of Civil Engineers Competition “The Best Building in Latvia 2018”. Also Māris Avotiņš, member of the board of ZTC, has received an award as “The Best mentor of the Year 2018” at the Latvian Construction Engineers congress.

On March 7, the winners of the competition „Latvian Construction Year Award 2018”were awarded.  ZTC submitted project to the competition – a multifunctional building in Nack, Sweden won the high 2nd place.

From 14 to 17 March in the exhibition Māja I 2019 ZTC will present in an interactive demonstration the new production technology that lets us provide wood prefab houses made of construction panels that stabilize indoor air humidity and temperature for a pleasant microclimate.

ZTC is currently assembling a two-storey private house with a living area of 250m² in Örebro, Sweden. Private house has increased energy efficiency requirements.

ZTC has completed a project in the Netherlands, Amsterdam- has built a prefabricated wooden house, combined with CLT. The building has CLT interior walls, separating walls, and a ceiling. The outer walls of the house are built in the wood panels.

Wood panel house that is combained with CLT built by ZTC in the Netherlands was tested with blower door test in mid November. The building has met the demands of the municipality of Amsterdam and the indicators meet the status of an energy efficient building. We are satisfied with the result N50 = 0,93.

The project MORE-CONNECT implemented by RTU after the Horizon 2020 program, where ZTC also participated, is coming to an end. The project’s goal has been achieved and we are pleased to be able to use our experience and knowledge to improve the insulation of residential buildings and improve their indoor climate.

Since 2017 ZTC production plant has been producing three storey apartment houses for a site in Åre, Sweden. Three of seven prefab houses were assembled in 2017 and other four was finished this year.

In May 2018 ZTC received the European Technical Assessment for the wood houses produced by the company. ETA certification proves the competency of ZTC to produce houses compliant with European requirements and proper use of materials in the product. Hence ZTC can now issue Declaration of Performance and affix the CE marking to its products.

Member of board of ZTC and company Cross Timber Systems Māris Avotiņš introduced the ambassador Seong-Jin HAN with the production of CLT elements and possibilities of application.
