Welcome to Infra Stories. Stories about places all across Nordics, where infrastructure projects with significant impact for the local communities have been built. Stories about innovative and sustainable solutions. Fighting against flooding in Roskilde, Denmark The city of Roskilde in Denmark is probably most famous for its annual music festival. 130,000 visitors enjoying eight days of live music until it inevitably rains, the festival floods and leaves everyone swimming in 80 hectares of mud. Unfortunately, the coastal areas surrounding the fjord just to the north of Roskilde, are suffering from a much more serious type of flooding. Residents in Jyllinge Nordmark are painfully aware of this: far too many of them have been left standing in water up to their waist when the fjord and local streams flood their homes. Sadly, this has happened several times over the past decade, resulting in flooded basements and costly damage. Basically, the future will see an increasing demand for reliable stormwater solutions. One of these coastal protection initiatives was a large new pumping plant supplied by Sulzer, a specialist in fluid engineering and pumping technologies for fluids. The plant was designed to send excess water from the River Værebro back into the fjord when the river breaks its banks. Kenneth Larsen, Technical Manager at Sulzer described the situation. “A system of this kind must not go wrong. When we put our solution out to tender, we specified that the structure had to be made of polyethylene plastic to withstand chemical influence from the very salty water passing through the system. The plant pumps were installed in a custom-made Wehopanel structure of polyethylene plastic delivered by Uponor Infra, which could withstand the water and has a design life of over 100 years. The highly durable Wehopanels developed by Uponor Infra can be dimensioned and equipped individually for countless applications, such as tanks, support structures, pumping station buildings and floating or submerged marine structures. In recent years, many innovative new products and structures have been developed using Wehopanel. Thank you Urbanistas for listening our stories!

Welcome to Infra Stories. Stories about places all across Nordics, where infrastructure projects with significant impact for the local communities have been built. Stories about innovative and sustainable solutions. A new lease of life for an iconic railway station - Warsaw West railway station. The modernisation of the Warsaw West railway station is the largest construction project currently underway in the Polish capital. Once completed, it will become Poland’s largest station, with 120,000 passengers expected to pass through daily by 2030. To always ensure uninterrupted rail traffic, it is necessary to ensure adequate drainage of the railway line and other track assets. Five batteries of PE-HD retention tanks meet the strictest criteria of durability under heavy loads from rail traffic. Thank you Urbanistas for listening our stories!

1 INFRA STORIES 5. A combination of factors could cause problems with drinking water in Finland 5:04
Welcome to Infra Stories. Stories about places all across Nordics, where infrastructure projects with significant impact for the local communities have been built. Stories about innovative and sustainable solutions. We often take water for granted. It seems like a basic human right. But does this rather overlook the effort and cost that goes into providing clean water for a whole country? We spoke with Jyrki Laitinen to talk about the current situation regarding water supply and water quality in Finland. Jyrki is Head of the Unit of Sustainable Water Services at the Finnish Environment Institute. And what he had to say was rather concerning. Finland is a country that prides itself on clean drinking water. A country where you can drink from the taps, the streams and even lakes without too much cause for concern. However, a combination of factors could soon cause an increase in problems in Finland that would not only affect the availability of clean potable water, but also potentially cause sickness, and droughts.

Welcome to Infra Stories. Stories about places all across Nordics, where infrastructure projects with significant impact for the local communities have been built. Stories about innovative and sustainable solutions. Today we travel to the Finnish town of Nastola which is trying to build a new community center in an environmentally sensitive location. The construction of a new community centre in Nastola, Southern Finland was proceeding at a rapid pace. Its new tenants were able to move into the building in early autumn 2021. The installation of the plot’s stormwater system was carried out at a rate that surprised everyone involved in the work. In fact, the site’s new Uponor IQ infiltration and retention pipes were in place within a few days. Installing pipe systems is bread and butter for municipal engineers, which naturally makes it even easier to install the IQ pipes. Once the pipe has been installed, it can be covered immediately, ready for the next one. The benefits of IQ pipes also include their long lifespan, up to 100 years, as well as their ease of serviceability and low maintenance costs. If necessary, the pipes can even be serviced with scrubber machines and vacuum trucks. Designer Simo Suurnäkki from Etteplan Oyj had never previously designed a stormwater solution using IQ pipes. “I contacted Uponor’s experts and got great support and help with the planning” he said. “The job was straightforward and went ahead with ease. One of the main advantages was the clear information on what load the pipes can withstand and how deep they need to be in the ground. Asphalted surfaces are becoming increasingly common, and the capacity of stormwater sewer networks is no longer sufficient. Real estate plots must have solutions that infiltrate and retain stormwater run-offs.” Thank you Urbanistas for listening our stories!

Hei! Welcome to The Urbanista. The podcast for urban designers and city planners where we discuss about city water management and sustainable urban development. In this episode we talk with Tallulah Lutkin , Utility Performance Editor at Global Water Intelligence. We discussed the main challenges of transition from gray to green infrastructure, new carbon neutrality requirements and regulations. Global Water Intelligence (GWI) is the unchallenged leader in high-value business information for the water industry. Its magazine is published monthly, in print and online, and is widely read by executives and managers at all levels. GWI also publishes four market intelligence reports each year, which provide in-depth data and understanding of specific water sector markets or regions of the world. During this insightful conversation we discussed several topics: What the highest achieving water utilities do differently. Opportunities for stormwater treatment plants to participate in the circular economy. The role of green infrastructure in making cities climate resilient: how do we define 'green infrastructure'?
