The General Director of the Lakhta Center is in charge of the construction of the tallest building in Europe. And already at the end of 2019, the tower will open for citizens and Petersburg can be seen from the observation deck on the 86th floor.
- Of course, everyone is interested in the question of when it will be possible to get inside the Lakhta Center and what can be seen there, because it will house not only the Gazprom office?
Lakhta Center, of course, will not be the only office of Gazprom. Moreover, open spaces, which will occupy almost a third of the complex, are not just a function that complements the business one. This is an independent, important story for the townspeople. I think the observation platform at a height of 360 meters, which occupies three floors - from the 83rd to the 86th, will be of the greatest interest. The views are such that when I go up there, I want to stay there. The upper part of the tower is periodically above the clouds - that's why we say that the sun is always with us. (Laughs)
Two floors at a level of 315 meters will be occupied by a panoramic restaurant, and at the foot of the building there will be an amphitheater with a view of the bay for 2000 seats - a summer venue for concerts and shows. There will be a children's scientific and educational center, a planetarium with the latest equipment, and a transforming hall with 500 seats for a variety of events. When will we open? By November, we plan to put the object into operation: this means that operators of public spaces and companies that will deal with office decoration will begin to enter it. Full of life The Lakhta Center will be up and running by the end of next year.
Will the area around the complex also change?
Two embankments will appear next to the tower - a very worthy project has already passed the examination and will start soon. The construction of the second stage of the Lakhta Center is in full swing - this time it will grow not vertically, but horizontally. This boomerang-shaped office building is due to be completed by 2021. Work is underway to develop the concept of a yacht club in Lakhta, which is expected to be built by 2022.
After all, you had no experience in managing construction projects before - remember your emotions when you were offered to head the large-scale project Lakhta Center?
The first five minutes I was in deep shock. I just didn't have the words to express what I felt. (Laughs.) But, as a team person, I agreed. Now I understand that without exception, all the previously acquired knowledge and skills were useful to me: both my engineering and legal education, and experience as an economist.
Elena Ilyukhina is a Member of the Management Board and Deputy General Director of Gazprom Neft for Legal and Corporate Affairs. Engineering education she received a degree in Electronic Devices from LETI, and a law degree from St. Petersburg State University. He has a PhD in Economics. The Lakhta Center Tower, 462 meters high, is the northernmost skyscraper in the world and the tallest in Russia and Europe. The complex is designed for 8,000 Gazprom employees.
- In 2009, you came to the structure, which was also called the Okhta Center, and two years later, a decision was made on a new place for construction. How do you assess the “moving” to Lakhta today?
It was absolutely the right decision - in the end everything turned out for the best. In Lakhta, we got a more interesting piece of land on which we could not limit ourselves. The height increased by almost 100 meters, and the tower acquired ideal proportions. We were lucky enough to form a sea facade that St. Petersburg did not have - thanks to the St. Petersburg stadium and the WHSD, we create a completely new town with futuristic views. The area around Lakhta Center is becoming an alternative to the historical center, and St. Petersburg needs polycentricity. We were able to change the attitude of the residents of the city, not with words, but with deeds: even those who used to be critical of the project admit that it turned out great, beautiful, that a new story, a new environment is being created.
The concept of the new St. Petersburg spire was contained in the competition task, which was best met by the project of the British bureau RMJM and its ideological inspirer Tony Kettle - that's why they won in 2006. RMJM developed only the architectural concept, we took the Russian company Gorproekt to the design stage, and to create the working documentation we attracted the Korean company Samsung, which has experience in building the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Such an international team is working on our global project.
- I suspect that building a skyscraper on the shores of the Gulf of Finland was not easy?
They hit the spot right: all the time they scolded the wind, which did not allow the tower cranes to work as they would like. In St. Petersburg in 2017, there were 176 official storm warnings - that is, a little less than half of the year was stolen from us by a strong wind, in which it is impossible to carry out high-altitude work. The project, due to the proximity of the site to the sea, is technically very complicated: 264 piles, two meters in diameter, and each pile goes 82 meters deep, and a 30-meter-deep wall protects the building from groundwater along the perimeter. From a distance, the tower may look simple in form, but, as we joke, architect Tony Kettle drew this concept, thinking that no one would ever build such a building: it twists around its axis, expands, narrows. Moreover, it was not the tower that caused the greatest difficulties in the implementation, but the multifunctional building adjacent to it with its variable height, different angles of the roof and an unsupported arch with a span of 98 meters. But how to change a broken double-glazed window or wash windows at a height of 400 meters - do not bring a tower crane every time for this? We have solved this problem too: we will soon install our facade maintenance system and then wash our beauty.
In a year, the Lakhta Center skyscraper, which is being built by Gazprom Neft, will appear in the northern part of St. Petersburg. Here the monopoly intends to place its employees and create new symbol monument city. General Director of JSC "Multifunctional complex" Lakhta Center "" (part of Gazprom Neft) Elena Ilyukhina told Kommersant how the company managed to change the mood of those citizens who resisted the construction of the tower, and what happened to the Okhta site, where the investor abandoned a major development project due to disagreements with city defenders.
- The Lakhta Center public and business quarter is being created in that part of St. Petersburg, where the home stadium for the Zenit football club was built for a long time ...
— I will refrain from commenting on the stadium.
- But still, tell me, are there even the slightest fears that your object will become another notable long-term construction of the city?
— We fully comply with the terms of construction. The management system and our team working on the project will, without any doubt, allow the construction to be completed on time. The main construction and installation works will be completed in 2017. That is, at the end of the ode we will see the object in the architectural appearance in which it was planned.
Why do long-term constructions occur? Slow coordination of even current issues, unwillingness to take responsibility for decision-making and lack of clear funding. For Lakhta Center, the customer and investor of the project is Gazprom Neft, and the attitude to the project is the same as to other investment projects of the oil company. Therefore, all management and financial decisions are made competently and on time.
Our project is commercial, and any delay in terms may lead to an increase in cost, which we cannot afford. So the Lakhta Center will be fully built, as planned, in 2018.
- In 2014, it was about investments of 76 billion rubles, a year later they already called 96 billion rubles. Isn't it similar to the situation with the stadium, where the budget has also changed more than once?
- The figures you mentioned are expert estimates. We do not disclose the cost of the project, as this is a trade secret, the disclosure of which may adversely affect its implementation.
- How?
— We select contracting companies for each stage of work on a competitive basis. For us as a customer, the best option is when counterparties optimize price parameters without knowing our financial plans. That is, we need quality services for adequate money.
- Still, the reason for the fears is not clear: on the basis of a competition, the Turkish Renaissance Construction became the general contractor of Lakhta Center. Let her settle the issues...
— This is an extremely simplified understanding of the process of building such a complex complex. We cannot allow complete dependence on the general contractor. That is why we conclude separate contracts for each stage of work only after the package of all initial permits and working documentation is ready. This mechanism allows us to save up to 20% on the cost of individual contracts.
— Due to what?
- Due to the fact that we have the most detailed all the working documentation and clearly calculated estimates. This is also convenient for the general contractor, who does not need to take risks due to a poorly designed project, as is often the case when implementing large projects in our country. And we, that is, the customer service, monitor the pricing of all subcontractors, suppliers of building materials and components, which allows us not to overpay for construction and installation work.
— How did the crisis affect the costs of the project? Did they grow or shrink?
— I can't say that we benefited from the crisis, but we don't feel like losers either. The developed system of contracting, which I told you about, has become a kind of safety cushion. For some packages, we have separated the ruble and currency components, which also allowed us to level the risks. Exchange rate fluctuations of the ruble, of course, influenced the process, but not catastrophically.
- Although Renaissance Construction was created in St. Petersburg in the 1990s, it was founded by Turkish businessmen. Last year, due to a political scandal between Moscow and Ankara, a moratorium was introduced on attracting Turkish work force. Did this somehow affect the pace of construction of the Lakhta Center?
“Our work did not stop, because the general contract was signed before the imposition of sanctions (now they have been lifted.— "b").
- The construction of the "Lakhta Center" caused an ambiguous reaction both from some citizens and from the city protection organizations. They can be understood: a skyscraper 462 meters high enters the visual space that has developed in St. Petersburg. To what extent, upon completion of construction, will the object be perceived as a dominant, friendly to the already existing urban environment?
- Lakhta Center is located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, generally outside the boundaries of urban development. The city center is more than 9 km away, so the skyscraper will not have a negative impact.
In the modern part of St. Petersburg there should be a new architectural dominant that sets the vector for the polycentric development of the metropolis. Just such a task we have set ourselves. We will find out next year how the high-rise building will be perceived by the townspeople after the completion of construction. But already now we see that the project is accepted by young people: in in social networks every day there are selfies against the backdrop of the tower under construction, the skyscraper inspires photographers and artists for creative projects.
— Why was it decided to build an object of such a height?
— High building was part of the design, and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, single dominants against the background of a horizontal landscape are a tradition of St. Petersburg. And now it's time for a new height. A powerful architectural accent will appear at the entrance to the city from the north, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, and will open St. Petersburg from the sea. The tower will be in proportion to the lines of the Baltic coast, the architecture of the pylons of the new cable-stayed bridge, and the futuristic appearance of the stadium on Krestovsky Island.
Secondly, the vertical as a symbol reflects the principle of building a company, its aspiration for future achievements. Thirdly, height is a super task that opens up endless possibilities. intensive development. These are engineering, technological and construction solutions, new legislative norms, unique knowledge, experience and competencies.
The project involves dozens of research institutes, hundreds of contracting and subcontracting organizations, for which this is an opportunity to introduce their developments. Indeed, for several decades, professionals in the field technical sciences in our country were unclaimed.
— How do you intend to use the existing historical landscape in the development of your complex?
- There is no historical landscape around the Lakhta Center under construction. This is the city's outskirts. On one side, forests, fields and one-story buildings line the shore of the bay, and on the other side, new development, which has been underway since the 1990s. And the construction site of the Lakhta Center itself is generally an alluvial area, where the sand storage base used to be located. Everything is created from scratch - both the landscape and the new contours of the sea facade.
In this sense, the territory is optimal. It has the potential to form a new center of attraction with the prospect of further development. This is the place where the city begins in the north. It was also important for us that all large-scale projects for the development of transport infrastructure were planned long before the decision to build our complex.
So the appearance of the Lakhta Center will give an obvious impetus to the development and humanization of the coast of the Gulf of Finland, which should become a modern public space, will create an incentive for the implementation of new recreational, cultural and tourism projects. The surrounding areas will inevitably evolve.
- Where do you get such confidence from?
- This is confirmed by world experience. In many European cities, new districts with modern architecture are being created and harmoniously coexist with the historical heritage. This is Defense in Paris, Hafen City in Hamburg, Canary Wharf, the famous Gherkin, and now the Shard in London.
- But there is also an opposite example - Venice ...
— Yes, this one of the most beautiful cities in the world, in fact, has no internal resources for conservation and renovation. Infinitely exploit only the potential cultural heritage impossible. We need alternative ways of development. Including giving the opportunity to increase the income of the city, which can be directed to the restoration and protection of monuments. Petersburg, which has a huge historical center, needs a powerful economic development to preserve the architectural heritage.
- What makes you think that Lakhta Center will become a new urban engine of St. Petersburg, if the core of the business complex is offices for 8 thousand employees of the Gazprom group?
Almost a third of the area is dedicated to public functions. And Lakhta Center will be immediately involved in city life like a new attraction. As a result, the city will have a public observation platform, a modern planetarium, an open amphitheater facing the bay, a modern scientific and educational center, water sports infrastructure and comfortable embankments - all that the city did not have and that will definitely be in demand, and will subsequently set new standards for the development of other territories.
- "Lakhta-Center" from the point of view of the commercial real estate market in St. Petersburg is a major project. It is somehow doubtful that in the current crisis it will be possible to rent or sell even part of the space ...
— We don't plan to rent out office space at all, since Gazprom's structures will occupy everything. Looking at the pace and scale of the relocation of the group's companies, we do not see opportunities to bring even a small part of the office space to the market.
As for the areas for public functions and related services, in this direction, requests from potential operators already many times exceed the scope of our offer. Our task is to choose those who can offer really non-standard and interesting formats.
- The authorities of St. Petersburg in 2016 announced that they were looking for a site in the city for the implementation of another project, the total area of \u200b\u200bwhich should be three times the size of the Lakhta Center. Will this lead to a glut of the city's commercial real estate market?
More than six months have passed since the announcement, and there is no information about the development of this idea.
- The commissioning of the Lakhta metro station is planned for 2025. How is its construction progressing?
- Together with all the residents of the Primorsky district of St. Petersburg (the Lakhta Center is being built here. - "b") we are closely following the plans and actions of the city administration regarding the transport provision of this densely populated and dynamically developing part of the city. I hope that the prospect of such a major project as the Lakhta Center appearing in 2018 will become an additional incentive not to delay the deadlines, despite budgetary difficulties.
But, of course, the development of transport infrastructure is facilitated primarily by the World Cup. The construction of the Begovaya metro station is timed to coincide with it, one of the exits of which is located at a distance of just over a kilometer from the Lakhta Center. And this is walking distance.
— Last summer, it was reported that Rostekhnadzor revealed massive violations of fire safety requirements during the construction of the Lakhta Center: none of the 30 floors of the tower erected had fire protection work carried out on the supporting metal structures. Did you manage to eliminate these violations?
- Later there was another check, which confirmed the absence of violations. Actually, Rostekhnadzor's remarks were the result of the lack of clear legislative fire safety standards for the construction period, which was especially pronounced at our facility - a unique and super-high-rise one.
Applying fire protection to metal structures is possible subject to several essential conditions: not only the structures themselves, but also concrete floors must be ready, it is necessary to observe the temperature regime - not lower than plus five degrees. And our building is built like this: first the core, then the metal structures, then the concrete floors of the floors around the core - and only then the facade. That is, it is possible to apply fire protection with some time delay from the installation of metal structures.
This is not recorded in the existing standards, since they are designed for standard construction. In fact, for the building of the XXI century it was proposed to apply the norms of the XX century. Therefore, we have developed and agreed on special technical conditions for such high-tech buildings, and now the work procedure is legalized.
But I would like to say right away that security issues are above all for us. This also applies to the decisions included in the project, and the organization of the construction process with cross-level multi-level control of compliance with all standards.
- During the construction of the Lakhta Center, Gazprom and its structures actively bought and reconstructed office real estate - in particular, buildings on Ostrovsky Square, on Pochtamtskaya, Galernaya, on Moskovsky Prospekt, in the Front Quarter, etc. How much money was spent on it? How will they be used after the opening of the Lakhta Center?
- The answer to these questions is within the competence of the relevant structures of Gazprom. I will only note that the future Lakhta Center will obviously not fully satisfy the demand for office space to accommodate all the companies of the Gazprom group. That is, the scale of the transfer exceeds the amount of space to be commissioned. Analysts of the real estate market are also not worried about this.
By the way, at the peak of the crisis recent years St. Petersburg has become almost the only city in the country where the segment of commercial real estate has not dipped. This industry managed to stay afloat largely thanks to a phenomenon that even received the name "Gazprom factor" in professional circles. But it's not just the city that is benefiting from such a massive corporate move. Practice shows that for large companies, concentration in one place with a high potential for spatial development is an increase in efficiency.
— What happened to the sites on Okhta, where the construction of an office center for Gazprom was originally planned?
- The plots belong to the Gazprom group, but construction has not begun there. We are ready to consider the proposals of the city administration to exchange the site for acceptable options for compensating our costs.
Interviewed by Khalil Aminov
Oil (of course, to the accompaniment of gas) is the basis of Russian statehood. It's a men's club with an expensive membership card. You rarely see women here. It is all the more interesting to find out how much oil a man is ready to give up to a woman, what place and, most importantly, for what merits?
