One of the companies that did not stop working during the state of emergency is Termovent. The company organized its factory in three shifts, according to all health protection procedures, and the employees showed their strength and how much they can adapt to the new changes, influence them and turn the crisis into a chance from which everyone will emerge stronger.
After the realized project of the laboratory “Vatreno oko” at the Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade, Termovent entered the project whose goal, among other things, is to suppress the Covid-19 pandemic.
On Friday, May 8, 14 specialists from the company Termovent set off for the Netherlands, who in the next few months will have the task of working with other teams from the EU for the company that is the largest producer of vaccines in the world, the company “Poonawalla Science Park” and set up a microbiological laboratory. The aim of the laboratory will be research and testing for the detection and control of polioviruses, including Covid 19.
The fact that the project was supported by the Ministry of Health of the Netherlands and the World Health Organization and that it was declared a project of exceptional importance speaks of the size and seriousness of the project itself.
“I am proud to be the head of a company that is very recognizable throughout the EU, enough to entrust us with projects of national interest of the countries in which we work, which are so complex that the number of companies that can implement them is very small. I am proud to point out the huge work and expertise of our associates, who with their work and knowledge have made a large number of positive references around the world, EU, RF, UAE, SA, India, which significantly contributed to our company becoming famous and top companies dealing with this area. I owe a great deal of gratitude to the Chamber of Commerce of Serbia, as well as to the embassies of the Republic of Serbia in The Hague and Budapest, without which this endeavor would not have been possible. I wish our team of experts in the Netherlands good health, and all other information will be given to you by our director of engineering, Gliso Prijic, who manages all these jobs,” said Dusan Perovic, president of the company Termovent.
We are talking with Prijic about what exactly Termovent is doing in the Netherlands.
“Starting from January 2019, together with the company ‘Scitech’, we are working on the project documentation for this project. The company ‘Scitech’ is the main coordinator of project documentation, and Termovent is completing the part for HVAC, BMS, EMS, electrical installations, VHP installations, inert gas fire extinguishing and validation of the entire project, under GAP and Bio Safety Level 3 regulations. I owe great gratitude to my colleagues team, above all, Slavisa Stankovic, project manager, on a systematic approach and selfless commitment. In accordance with that project, we started producing the equipment in March this year and sending it to the Netherlands,” said Prijic.
How important is this project for the Netherlands and world health?
The very fact that the project is supported by the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health of the Netherlands and funded by the Government of the Netherlands speaks volumes about the importance of the project. Together with other partners, our task is to provide space and parameters for testing active viruses, including coronavirus. There are not many such laboratories in Europe, which additionally speaks of the size and importance of this project, especially taking into account the current situation in the world.
How did Termovent deserve such trust?
This is the fourth project we are working on for this client. The success of previous projects was the best recommendation for this job as well. Termovent has been performing the most demanding projects in the Netherlands, Belgium and the rest of the EU, Russia and the Balkans for 15 years, and we are recognized as a reliable partner, with high quality and reliability for even the most demanding projects. Guided by the motive that quality has no alternative, today we are in a position to have no dissatisfied client, and recommendations and references are the best ally for getting new jobs. In the markets of Belgium and the Netherlands, the company Termovent has developed a recognizable brand of a reliable partner, which further facilitates our cooperation with existing customers, as well as gaining new customers.
Is this project more delicate than previous projects you have done?
This project is more delicate and complex than all the previous projects we have done. I can freely say that it represents a great engineering challenge for all of us. We developed the project documentation with our partners from Belgium and the Netherlands: “Actemium”, “Tyco Fire”, “Steris”, which we hired as subcontractors, each in its own domain, after harmonizing the technical documentation. Coordinating the work of these partners in the field of design and construction, and yet respecting all regulations Biosafety, GMP and GAP, in such a developed EU country is not easy.
How are the current works on the project going?
The works are proceeding according to the plan previously drawn up. There are currently 14 of our specialists in the Netherlands, who will work on the installation of our air conditioning chambers and ductwork. In the coming days, our subcontractor company “Instalater” will go to the Netherlands, which will perform works on the pipe installation, as well as our six electrical installers, so that, taking our Belgian and Dutch subcontractors, we will have 40 workers under construction in the next month. by the directive of our company. I would also like to thank the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, which helped us provide the documentation needed for our workers to pass through all transit countries from Serbia to the Netherlands.
Do you already have plans for new projects in the EU?
Of course. We have three more big projects in the EU in the plan and I am extremely satisfied with the fact that our engineers are very recognized and competent for such markets and such projects. One of the main strategies in the engineering sector is the training of young engineers for challenging projects. Thanks to that, we currently have a strong engineering staff and it is a great pleasure to manage such a team, BizLife reports.
