📋 Tender Overview
At the end of May, we laid the foundation stone for the renovation of the high-altitude climate observatory at Kredarica. A good month later, the old extension is gone, and Slovenian Army helicopters are transporting construction materials for the first concrete works from Pokljuka, 2,514 meters above sea level.The old climate observatory is gone | Author: Environment Agency 1 / 3 Before the renovation of the Kredarica climate observatory began, it was necessary to ensure the uninterrupted work of meteorological observers. They were given their temporary premises in the Triglavski dom. The premises were kindly lent to us by the Ljubljana-Matica Mountaineering Association, so that the work could proceed without any disruption. First, we carried out the demolition work. This week, the Slovenian Army is transporting a large part of the construction material from Rudno polje to Kredarica, i.e. cement, sand and water, while at the same time removing waste material from the demolished building from the construction site. In the next phase, the contractor will begin carrying out concrete construction work. The number of workers on site varies depending on the type of work. The activities are quite lively, which inevitably affects visitors to Kredarica. The demolition work was quite noisy in general, but the work that follows will be more visitor-friendly. At the moment, the most important thing for them is not to encroach on the construction site for their own safety. The comprehensive renovation, which also includes a partial expansion of the premises, will nevertheless mean a lower environmental impact in the long term. The Climate Observatory will acquire new renewable energy systems, backup energy systems, a new municipal waste storage and water collection system. The renovation of the Climate Observatory in Kredarica is taking place as part of the Sovir project.
