Saara broke the time limit of 13 seconds in July as she timed 12,84, which is the fifth best all-time recorded result in Finland. In Kalevan Kisat, National Championships, in June Saara won third place.

Congratulations to Saara on your success and happy training times getting ready for your next season!

Our sponsor athlete Saara Keskitalo achieved the ”magic limit” in sprint hurdles

Early in 2024 R-taso decided to support the young athlete Saara Keskitalo in achieving international levels in her athletic career. Supporting Saara in her athletics is a part of our social responsibility actions.

Saara’s early season has been successful. The so-called magic limit of women’s 100 metre hurdles is said to be 13 seconds. Saara beat that limit generously by running the time 12,84 in Joensuu games in July. It fell short only seven hundredth of a second from the Paris Olympics result limit. Saara won bronze in the Finnish athletic games in the end of June, which is a great achievement considering the high level in Finnish women’s sprint hurdles.

The season is still running. R-taso wishes Saara good luck for the rest of the summer races!


Smart solutions for energy production

Smart solutions for energy production

Demeca delivers modular solutions for agricultural manure processing, for nutrient recycling and for self-sufficient energy production. R-taso has designed perfectly fitting walkways for safe use and maintenance for Demeca´s biogas plants.

Demeca´s energy efficient biogas plants help to produce energy and biomethane for traffic use. The biogas process utilizes farmed animals’ liquid manure and also agricultural dry feeds and industrial side streams. Demeca´s product development has invested in the past year in scaling the farm sized biogas plant modules into bigger units, which enables so called satellite plant deliveries and other communal methane tanks and/or component deliveries. Due to modular structure the biogas plant is modifiable and easily installed. The biogas plant´s heart is the biogas reactor, which needs safe walkways for usage and maintenance.

R-taso delivers professional walkways and maintenance platforms for various needs for Demeca. The 3D model proposals and offers for different solution alternatives always arrive promptly after requests. At Demeca we can concentrate on our core business, as the walkway designs are already designed to the detail and only need a quick check-up. R-taso´s modular structures are solid in their design and the products´ installation is clear and easy.

Modular and sustainable structures

Modular product structure is an efficient way to decrease the climate impacts of steel construction. When modularity and bolted connections are utilized in structural engineering, the structures can easily be modified, expanded, dismantled, and moved to a new location. Modularity enhances the optimal use of resources and minimizes the waste of raw materials.

R-taso is a pioneer in optimizing the carbon footprint of steel structures. “We want to participate in creating a sustainable future and wish to promote steel structures´ circular economy, where the value of materials stays in the cycle as long as possible. Recycling steel structures should be the last stage, before which all possibilities of repairing and reusing have been considered. In addition to optimizing the steel structures we have invested in carbon footprint calculation. We can deliver product-specific carbon footprint calculations for our solutions”, says Ville Törmänen, CEO of R-taso Oy.
