July 24 15 minutes published an article about how buyer Tomás (name change) who visited the Kaunas car market took only 10 minutes; He was unable to continue the search for the car due to the blasts of dust that began to stir in his throat. The man blamed a nearby cogeneration plant for this, but it turned out that it didn’t even work in the summer. Market traders interviewed admitted that the problem existed, but looked for flaws elsewhere; in their opinion, they were dusting the rebuilt Taikos Avenue or the nearby biofuel boiler room. The specific cause of the contamination remains unclear.
How 15 minutes said Valentinas Naujanis, director of UAB Varanas, which manages the Kaunas car market, the market is a large open area, which occupies about 10 hectares, and is located in an industrial area, so it is normal for dust to be agree here.
He left with a damaged car
However, Gediminas from Kaunas, who ran for the editorial board after this article was published, gave another possible reason. According to him, the sand blasts could reach the market in July from V. Krėvės avenue, where the UAB Okseta was carrying out sandblasting work on the heating track, which runs near the car market, near the railway line. He captured the “cloud” of sand rising from the workplace and recounted how he had suffered.

“It works without guards, warning signs, which caused serious damage to my BMW car parked on V. Krėvės ave. 122 A building, body and glazing. It is not dust, but quartz sand. I turned to the police, but they referred me to a contractor. As far as I know, there have been quite a few complaints, I have seen more damaged cars, ”said Gediminas, who sent photos from the workplace and a letter from the police refusing to take the investigation.
“It is clear from the circumstances indicated in the statement that a civil and legal relationship has developed between you and the UAB Okseta due to a car accidentally damaged during construction works, which are regulated by the Civil Code, and all disputes that arising from them must be resolved in a civil proceeding. ” Gediminui.
It was in the police response to the Kaunas resident that the person who carried out the sandblasting work there – UAB Okseta – and the contacts of the company representative were indicated.
According to Gediminas, it is necessary to carry out an expert opinion on the damage assessment, which can cost up to 300 euros. Kaunas is as afraid to invest as to be left with nothing. The sandblasting works, according to him, were carried out throughout July, sometimes more intensive, sometimes less intensive.
“I approached the job manager of that company, I promised to contact myself this week, but I highly doubt it. I cleaned the damaged windshield by all means because it is impossible to drive in the rain, but the benefits are small. And the car is in order, only that everything costs money ”, assured the complainant.
I received only one statement
In late July, the Kaunas County Police 15 minutes confirmed after receiving a statement about the damaged car. The officials had gone to the address mentioned by Gediminas, communicated with the employees who worked there at that time, who indicated which closed corporation was carrying out the sandblasting work on the thermal route.
“A response was sent to the person asking that company for damages to their property, and if the company refused to pay the damages, go to court in a civil proceeding.” We have not received any further statements about the work in progress, ”said Odeta Vaitkevičienė, spokesman for the Kaunas County Police.
15 minutes The journalist contacted Adam Budelis, Oxeta’s site manager.
“Yes, our company does that job by sandblasting. No need for sandblasting, various abrasives are selected. This is the cleaning of the metallic surface so that it can be repainted, repainted correctly and the longevity of that route can be extended ”, explained A. Budelis.
He assured that he would learn about the damaged Kaunas car for the first time, but the company always responds to complaints and covers the losses incurred.
“We did not receive any complaints in July, at least the information did not reach me. Since we also do anti-corrosion paint work, there are situations when when we work near the driveway, parking lots, although we try to cover the work area in various ways, it happens in every way, maybe a strong wind and remove paint or sand dust. There are cases in our practice where a damaged car occurs. We always solve. I am very surprised that there have been no cases of journalists or police calling.
We never deny it, all the more so since our activities are insured. If there are any victims, we will find out the situation to the end. If there are losses our employees make, we always cover them. In any case, we organize the work in such a way that we do not disturb anyone ”, promised the Okseta construction manager, who communicates with pleasure.
He said Oxeta workers were not really working in the car market, there are contractors who work much closer to the market. A.Budelis also mentioned the reconstruction of Taikos Avenue: an underground heating route was installed, so it is likely that the dust choked the market due to the road reconstruction works.
