YIT to construct Esplanadi water supply tunnel in EUR 18 million contract

Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY has awarded YIT Infra Oy the contract to construct the Esplanadi water supply tunnel. The contract, valued at EUR 18 million, is scheduled to be signed in mid-August.

The tunnel will be located in the Kaartinkaupunki and Kamppi districts of Helsinki, running between Esplanadi Park and the Munkkisaari–Mäntymäki water supply tunnel.

It will be excavated through bedrock and will include both wet and dry sections. The wet section will function as an open sewer, while the dry section will house newly constructed sewer and maintenance water pipelines and will also allow for vehicle and pedestrian access.

“We’re proud to take on this significant project, which will enhance the reliability and infrastructure of Helsinki’s water supply for years to come. This contract allows us to fully leverage our Infra segment’s expertise in both rock and water supply construction,” says Aleksi Laine, Executive Vice President of YIT’s Infrastructure segment.

Construction is set to begin in the fall.
