City of Espoo in Finland is investing significantly in infrastructure in various locations. Areas around Leppävaara neighborhood have seen a lot of new development in the recent history. Besides of all new development one of the ongoing project is to upgrade the pedestrian street and market square of older commercial area. Civil engineering company E.M. Pekkinen is completing the scheme that includes sheet piling, other piling works, ground improvement, relocating utilities and finally paving and landscaping.
Most of the work is carried out in limited space with minimum disturbance to shops and other businesses along the pedestrian street. Excavations for utility works require temporary retaining walls. Installations of the sheet piles in these conditions and very close to building walls take both carefully chosen equipment and experienced personnel. E.M. Pekkinen is experienced piling and civil engineering provider. Movax supplied a first Side-Grip to the company over fourteen years ago, the Movax SG-60 on Volvo EC300D carrier is the newest addition to their fleet.
