In 2006, ENKA was awarded the contract for the construction of Toyota Car and Assembly Plant in St. Petersburg, Russia. The plant, with an annual production capacity of 50,000 cars, is one of the biggest Toyota factories in Europe. The factory was constructed on a land covering 214,000 m2 with a building area of 57,000 m2 .
The plant consists of four major process shops of 12,000 m2 each, as well as a 5,000 m2 utility shop and a 4,000 m2 administration building. The poor soil conditions and the high underground water table made it necessary to use deep bored piles and sheet piling techniques for structures, such as sludge pools and booth pits. The plant was completed and handed over in September 2007.
The major process shops included a paint shop, a general assembly shop, a body shop and a production control shop. All the shops were constructed as single storey buildings. The plant also included a 50,000 m2 shipping yard for new cars and a 27,000 m2 container yard.
