The Most Modern Harbor in the World

The new Vuosaari Harbour was inaugurated on 28 November 2009. The harbour is the most modern of its kind in the world. Sito was involved in both designing the harbour (Vuosa Project) and in the road and traffic planning (Vuoli Project) from the early planning stage. Both projects together received the RIL 2008 award.

Road and foundation engineering

Sito was responsible for the engineering of the harbour's foundation structures. In addition, Sito was prepared the technical documentation for lifting sand/gravel from the sea bottom for redamming works. Other tasks included the environmental planning of the gate area and rock engineering for the Ruusuniemi canal. A significant part of the work involved technically demanding expert supervision of the foundation work of the quays.
 
On the Vuoli-project, Sito was involved in the general planning, road design and construction planning of the harbor road and the general planning and construction planning of the harbor railroad. Both the road and the railroad were contructed in very demanding environmental and subsurface conditions. 
 

A Comprehensive Information System

For the Vuoli-project, Sito developed a massive environment information system solution incorporating groundwater, settlement and vibration data and a feedback system. The information accessed via an internet portal.
