Access Engineering is awarded with the construction of Phase 1B of the Nanotechnology Centre of Excellence at the Nanotechnology and Science Park
Nanotechnlogy Center of Excellence of Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology (Pvt) Ltd is a facility that serves creation of an environment and systems which will deliver an unique transformation towards wealth creation through advancement in science and technology whilst offering significant opportunities to nurture young entrepreneurs in the pursuit of scientific discovery.
The facility located at Pitipana, Homagama is currently undergoing an expansion process under the directive of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Research with the intention of widening the limited research facilities in to a world-class laboratory facility complex with state of the art equipment, incubation spaces and pilot plant facilities. The expansion work of phrase 1B which involves expansion of main laboratory, accommodation building and new gate house with canteen building is awarded to Access Engineering PLC.
The scope of the work awarded to Access Engineering PLC includes the construction of a hexagonal shaped G+4 building of 11,500m2 with two basements adjacent to the existing hexagonal shaped three storey building on a pile foundation for the main laboratory building and the construction of a G+6 building of 3,300m2 with 44 bed rooms and 8 studio apartments on a pile foundation for accommodation. The work also includes the construction of G+1 1,650m2 to house a canteen and a gate house.
“As all three buildings of the project are to be LEED certified, special concentration, knowledge and expertise will be exercised throughout the project to ensure that the construction work confirms to the stipulated guidelines and standards set by the US Green Building Council. And the engineering team of Access Engineering is already committed to work extensive hours to ensure the project meet the tight time schedule.” said Mr. Madawa Ganegoda ; The project Manager of the construction of Phase 1B of the Nanotechnology Centre of Excellence at the Nanotechnology and Science Park.
