The ski slopes of Levi attract thousands of tourists every year. Water consumption varies greatly, which is why the water intake plant in Kirakka in Levi was renovated to meet the consumption peaks during peak seasons. As part of the project, Uponor delivered two huge reservoir tanks to ensure sufficient supply of clean water in the area.
Obsolite and underdimensioned stormwater pipes were replaced by Weholite
The Vierimaantie road, located close to the town centre of Ylivieska, Finland has a concrete sewer line constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. A decision was taken to renovate this sewer using a tailored solution, and the product developed for this purpose is now also available to other customers.
The Hietasärkä water intake plant is part of the Suomussalmi water supply system, the task of which is to ensure the sufficiency of clean drinking water for the needs of municipal residents. Corrosion damage to the water supply network was previously prevented with lye, but due to safety risks, it was replaced by a chemical-free method. At the same time, an extensive overall renovation was carried out at the water intake plant.
Uponor Infra has delivered PE SN8 DN2400 retention tanks with a total capacity of V = 510m3 to the Neptun Park estate, which will collect stormwater from the estate area.
In Kajaani, a pressurised sewer that has broken down due to faulty installation will be renewed by relining. This reliable and fast method will also be cheaper than excavating for the site.

No chemicals are needed to keep the water quality high in a medium-sized city in Finland where the water intake plant was renovated and the Uponor aeration tank was installed.
HSY (Helsinki Region Environmental Services HSY) is testing a new kind of area renovation operating model in Itäranta, Espoo, where the aim is to get the area's water supply network in order once and for all. New steps are also being taken towards more sustainable construction: the selected Uponor Blue pipes utilising renewable raw materials will reduce the carbon footprint of pipeline installations by 70% compared to traditional plastic pipes.
I de senere år er kvalitetsstyring af regnvand blevet en stadig vigtigere del af byernes regnvandsstrategier. Et pilotprojekt blev lanceret i Heinola for at rense regnvand med innovative filterbrønde udviklet af Uponor. Samtidig vil der blive indsamlet værdifulde forskningsdata om regnvandskvaliteten fra to forskellige typer områder og om de rensningsresultater, der opnås med filterbrønde.
Uponor’s Weholite technology was the key solution in a unique project in London, where the Lee Tunnel and Thames Tideway tunnel have the task of capturing an average of 39 million tonnes of sewage a year from the 35 most polluting combined sewer overflows (CSOs). An upgraded pipeline system was designed to reduce the number of overflows – and their environmental impact – from the sewers and treatment systems serving London. A particular aim is to limit pollution from the sewers and treatment systems connected to the Beckton and Crossness sewage treatment works.
