HESCON, Ltd., is a design and static office, and was established in
2008 by the authorised civil engineer Erik Hrnčiar. After his long-term
experience in the field of design management, as well as vast experience
designing and building load-bearing structures, the idea to gather a strong
team of designers and structural engineers came naturally to him. This
team was actualised in what is now HESCON, Ltd.
HESCON, Ltd. specialises in the statics of structures and offers its clients
services in consulting, design and engineering from the initial study all the
way up to the workshop drawing.

Situated near the largest bearing of foundry and glass sand in Slovakia,
in the industrial park Senica, is a plant for editing, converting, refining and
dispatching glass sand. The sand is transported to the editing plant after
mining, where it is cleaned of impurities and undesirable additives, dried,
and then separated into desired fractions. Due to the complex nature of
the sand processing, separate divisions and buildings were constructed
for each step in the process. Connections between these buildings
were essential in order that sand move freely between the buildings.
Technology needed to transport the sand between buildings was also
needed, and had to be factored into the design including workshop
documentation of steel structures. The plant is an extensive technological
building, made up of about 950 tons of steel. The building is divided into
the following main building structures:
• SO 101 Sand receiving and transporting.
• SO 102 Wet treatment of the sand and SO 103 Water management.
• SO 104 Sand drying.
• SO 105 Separation of the sand and SO 106 Storage of the sand.
• SO 107 to SO109 Packing and storage.
Each process directly follows one after the other, and these structures
are connected with technological equipment, especially with regard to
essential transport routes.
