CEO of Communications Office Kreab Mikael Jungner60, tells Iltalehti that his midsummer project is ready for painting.

Jungner released on Friday Instagramin his account of a video clip of a cottage pier that had partially collapsed into the water. At that time, Jungner told Iltalehti that he was at his parents’ cottage in Kokkola.

Now Jungner says that the renovated pier is now shorter and stronger and will still be painted green. Jungner says that the challenge of the project is, among other things, that they decided to use the original materials of the collapsed pier.

– The previous dock was fixed. Now it was made so that the pier and its supports can be relatively easy to lift up for the winter. Then there will be no such kind of full destruction, he says.

The challenge was also to make the quay durable enough.

– After all, it was a technical challenge of making a self -loading pier without a single nail, or screws.

– It has to accept Jetskin [vesijetin] Rise to my own dock. That is, in the longitudinal direction it must be able to receive hundreds of pounds.

Jungner says the weather did not favor their Midsummer project.

– It was raining, it was cold and windy. In addition, it was tough when much of the dock had to be done in the water. Yes, it probably took another hour there in the water, because the balls were by no means easy, though it might look like it.

According to Jungner, five people tested the durability of the quay by bouncing it on it. The man assures that the pier is durable enough.

“You can see how it lasts when the first time Jetski comes to that end,” he says.

According to Jungner, they were saved at high costs thanks to old materials.

– The only thing needed was screws, paint and drill. It didn’t go to it as if it had been a hundred.
