In this episode, we talk to one of our own, Talat Satilmisoglu, a PhD student and stormwater researcher at GF Piping Systems, about stormwater treatment methods and why combining approaches might be the key to better solutions.
In this episode, we take a look at how Hjallerup, Denmark, is leading the way in stormwater management. The town is using Uponor Infra’s Vortex stormwater chambers to make water purification more effective, cut down on maintenance, and support a more sustainable future.
Debut at ISH 2025: GF Building Flow Solutions, a division of GF, presents leading innovations and proven solutions from the GF and Uponor brands for the building industry.
This episode of Infra Stories highlights the innovative electrical upgrade of Helsinki’s Eastern metro line. Using Uponor’s FastGuard cable protection pipes, the project overcame tight schedules and challenging conditions to enhance safety and efficiency. Listen to the full episode to discover how this smart solution has made Helsinki's metro better equipped to serve its growing transportation needs.
In this episode, we explore the 2024 renovation of the Kirakka water intake plant in Levi, one of Finland’s most popular winter holiday destinations and the annual host of the Alpine Skiing World Cup. Managed by Levi Water Supply and powered by Uponor’s advanced Flowise solutions, this project highlights how tailored infrastructure is addressing the challenges of seasonal water demand in a region that attracts over 600,000 visitors each year. Learn how these upgrades are securing Levi’s water supply and reinforcing its status as a premier winter tourist destination.
GF Building Flow Solutions now offers BIM data from the Uponor product portfolio in most common databases such as Magicad, Linear, Trimble or Cype. Project partners have access to the digital planning data in ten software platforms and databases – and thus have the opportunity to design, construct, and manage their projects in a highly efficient, secure, and risk-minimized manner with computer support and integration.
In this episode of Infra Stories, we dive into the city of Espoo and its groundbreaking stormwater management project with Ramboll Finland. Espoo was the first city in Finland to install the Uponor Vortex Stormwater Separation Chamber, addressing urban flood risks and maintenance costs caused by rapid development and climate change.
The chamber, installed at a high-flood-risk site in Espoo, uses centrifugal force to keep debris out of water systems, reducing maintenance needs. With increased rainfall intensity, solutions like this position Espoo as a leader in resilient urban planning. Tune in to learn how this innovation is setting a new standard for sustainable stormwater infrastructure.
GF Building Flow Solutions (formerly Uponor) has added Hutchinson and Zella-Mehlis to its range of manufacturing locations that have reached carbon neutral status (scope 1 and 2).
Welcome to GWI News, a partnership between The Urbanista podcast and Global Water Intelligence (UK). In this episode, hosts Delfin Vassallo and Tallulah Lutkin, Utility Performance Editor at GWI, discuss critical issues for water utilities. Topics include how utilities are managing droughts and floods, the upcoming 'silver tsunami' of workforce retirements, the need for new technology in the water sector, the newly published Global Water Tariff Survey 2024, and more.
In this episode, we talk to Damiano Cerrone, co-founder of the UrbanistAI platform, about how AI is transforming urban design and planning. With a background in research and a passion for participatory design, Damiano brings a unique perspective on how generative AI can be used to co-create the future of our cities. He shares insights on how AI can facilitate collaboration among stakeholders, speed up decision-making, and enhance public involvement in urban planning. Join us as we explore the possibilities and challenges of integrating AI into the design process of our urban environments.
