MVM Neuron Office Building – Construction Progress Update

MVM Neuron Office Building – Current Status of Construction

The construction of the MVM Neuron office building — following the handover and acceptance of the construction site on 1 July 2025 — is progressing steadily and according to schedule. The project has now reached the final phase of the deep construction works.

Large-scale earthworks are practically nearing completion: to date, approximately 60,000 m³ of soil has been removed from the site, marking the final stage of excavation. Dewatering of the construction pit has been further strengthened with the completion of three permanent dewatering wells and the associated drainage system, ensuring a consistently dry working environment for the subsequent construction phases.

With regard to the retaining structures, anchoring has been completed along the full length of the diaphragm wall, and the inner surface of the diaphragm wall has also been cleaned. This marks the completion of the main structural works related to the diaphragm wall.

The development of the geothermal system has also reached a significant milestone: out of the planned 204 ground probes, 100 have already been completed, representing approximately 14,000 linear metres of drilling to date. This corresponds to roughly half of the total planned drilling volume. In parallel, work is ongoing in the construction pit to connect the ground probes, install the distribution and collector pipelines, and carry out pressure testing on the completed sections — all in coordination with the backfilling works.

In the areas where pressure testing and backfilling have already been completed, the placement of blinding concrete has begun, followed by the start of reinforcement installation for the foundation slab. As part of the preparations for structural construction, the main construction equipment required for the works has also been installed: three of the planned four tower cranes are currently ready for operation, the tallest of which has a jib height of 45 metres.

Concreting of the building’s 9,000 m² foundation slab is scheduled to begin in January 2026. A total of 17 construction joints have been formed in the foundation slab in line with the technological phasing. The next major visible milestone of the project will be the start of the superstructure works, planned for early February 2026, beginning with the construction of the lining walls.

The results achieved so far clearly demonstrate that the project is progressing in line with the planned schedule and is moving towards the structural construction phase on stable technical foundations.
