Construction of the "Sovelmash" design and engineering technology department
The "Sovelmash" design and engineering technology department (D&E) is being built in the "Technopolis "Moscow" special economic zone in Russia. According to a reputable international rating, it is one of the best technoparks in the world. To become a resident of the special economic zone (SEZ), "Sovelmash" traveled quite a challenging path. A large package of documents for joining the SEZ had been submitted, many inspections of the project and the company had been carried out. In early 2019, the project was supported by the Moscow government and "Sovelmash" became a resident of "Technopolis "Moscow", after which it was leased a land plot to construct the enterprise at a reduced cost.
The D&E will conduct its activities in the most favorable conditions. The SEZ residents are provided with considerable tax and customs privileges, access to urban communications, roads and railways.
It took more than a year and a half to obtain the permit for the D&E construction. The project documentation had been carefully prepared and checked by the regulatory authorities. After this trial, we can say with confidence that the project of the unique innovative enterprise meets all the Russian legislation requirements. At the end of 2020, a permit for the D&E construction was obtained, after which full-fledged work on the site immediately began.
As of January 2024, at the construction site:
- the foundation and metal frame are completed,
- the interfloor slabs, concrete mattress and level 1 floors are cast,
- the walls, roofing, windows and doors are mounted and the thermal envelope of the building is closed,
- the staircases and elevator shafts are made,
- the interior partitions are installed,
- most of the interior finishing is completed,
- the external utilities are completed and the installation of internal utilities is being finalised,
- the storm and domestic sewerage, heating, water supply and electricity are connected,

According to the plan, the "Sovelmash" D&E construction is planned to be completed in 2024. The timing depends on the rate of incoming investment.
