Opening in 2012, the Environmental Arena offers business and organisations from the environmental sector the largest and most spectacular platform for promoting environmental issues and energy efficiency.

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.

U prostorije Dječjeg vrtića Jarun ugrađen je Uponor sustav podnog grijanja i cijevi. Djeci je tako omogućeno nesmetano kretanje i udobnost tokom boravka u vrtiću.

Svih 140 stanova u neboderu opremljeno je kvalitetnom opremom te Uponor podnim sustavom grijanja.

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.

The largest building project during 2017

The City of Espoo is the first in Finland to introduce the Vortex stormwater separation chamber. It can be used to efficiently separate floating and descending solids from stormwater. The aim is to reduce the maintenance costs of the retention system built from stormwater tunnels and prevent solids from ending up in waterbodies.

The modernisation of the wastewater treatment plant is a key task of the project "Comprehensive modernization of wastewater treatment plant in Opole along with improvement of water and wastewater management".
