Piling works causing significant noise to begin in week 47 on Hakunilantie south of Ring III

Piling works

The piling works is related to the widening of the street structure on Hakunilantie as part of the tramway construction project. The purpose of the piles is to transfer structural loads to stable bearing soil layers in areas with soft ground conditions. A reinforced concrete pile slab will be constructed on top of the piles to distribute loads evenly among them and to create a stable foundation for the widened street area.

During impact pile driving, steel piles are driven into the ground using a piling machine. This work phase will cause intermittent noise and vibration.
