Developed in cooperation between YIT and Posiva, the grouting method eliminated the major risks related to the schedule of the construction project. The cooperative construction model was highly praised.

In industrial construction, properties and facilities are built on the basis of the functions and processes that will be placed in them. A high-quality and cost-efficient end result is achieved by maintaining versatile professional skills and listening to the client’s specific needs.

The energy self-sufficiency of Finland has become an important topic. Self-sufficiency in various forms of energy production improves security of supply, and wind power is an excellent supplement to this. In other words, now is not the time to file appeals but to promote wind power projects that will help Finland become self-sufficient in energy.

Everyone is talking about sustainable energy production, but not many are aware of all the work required before the turbines of a wind farm can be erected. The infrastructure construction of a wind farm is a precise process including various tasks from geotechnical surveys to the geometry of the curves of forest roads.

YIT has taken major steps in wind power development. There are a lot of different operators in Finland offering wind power project development, but YIT is the only construction company among them. “We offer the entire package as a turnkey delivery, if the customer is interested.”

What happens when a wind power park is at the end of its life cycle? The wind power company take cares of its dismantling and recycling. Most wind turbines are made of recyclable materials, but the recycling of blades is still under development.

Tensioning plays a key role in anchoring huge wind turbines in the bedrock. YIT's tensioning unit’s expertise ranges from the design phase of wind power plants to implementation and, as a local operator, the agility to react to schedule changes.

The FLOW concept industrialises construction and simplifies the software chaos on sites with takt production system and related data stream management. In order to be able to manage with data and achieve a high level of automation, the building practice must be standardised and the digital tools supporting the construction must be functional.
