Introduction Katri-Liis Lepik, NPA Helsinki-Tallinn Euregio and Ulla Tapaninen, City of Helsinki 1.1 Background More than seven million one-way trips are made between Tallinn and Helsinki every year. The density of both passenger and cargo traffic is high. The impacts of Finnish tourists for Tallinn economy and Estonian workers for Helsinki economy are undeniable. Consequently, both Helsinki and Tallinn clearly benefit from each other. But there is not enough knowledge of the full scale of the relationships between the two capitals.

Petition 873/2002 by Niemelä and Sario Oy, on behalf of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation. To investigate the impact of the development of the Vuosaari Cargo Port, and related projects, on the Mustavuori/Östersundom area, specially protected under the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC & the Birds Directive 79/409/EEC.

Ex-officio members: Astrid Thors MEP Uma Aaltonen MEP Matti Wuori MEP and: Kjell Sevon, Adviser, Green Group secretariat, Linda Lindholm Ulriikka Aarnio Hannariikka Nieminen 1 presented to the Committee on April 26 & 27 2004. PR\528730EN.doc PE 343.922 EN EN Introduction The construction of the Vuosaari Port and hinterland has been discussed by the Helsinki authorities and planned by them for over twenty-five years. Long before their membership of the European Union, the Finnish Government and Helsinki Municipal Council agreed that an alternative cargo port was required in order to relieve pressure on the three existing ports of Helsinki and their urban environment. The economy of the Helsinki region has always been linked to the functioning of the port facilities and competitive development of the Turku port, further to the west, imposed sharper economic considerations on the decision-making process in Helsinki. Construction work finally began at the beginning of 2003 and it is the intention of the Helsinki authorities to complete the Vuosaari harbour and the related Vuoli traffic connections by 2008.

  • Rostock 12 Th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference, 31 May – 2 June 2012
    Rostock 12 th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference, 31 May – 2 June 2012 MASS STABILISATION IN CONSTRUCTION OF SOFT SUBSOILS AND IN ENVIRONMENTAL GEOTECHNICS AT CITY OF HELSINKI Juha Forsman / Ramboll Finland Oy, Osmo Korhonen / City of Helsinki, Jorma Havukainen / Ramboll Finland Oy, Kata Kreft-Burman / Ramboll Finland Oy ABSTRACT The city of Helsinki is under a continual process of constructing the new districts and improving the already existing ones. The examples of typical ground construction and preconstruction problems faced in Helsinki include the following issues: construction has to be performed in an area with very soft postglacial clay or peat as the areas considered more suitable from the geotechnical point of view have already been constructed, shortage of fill and embankment materials, and shortage of landfill areas for surplus soils. The mass stabilisation technology proves to be a cost effective solution to these challenges. This article presents some examples of how mass stabilisation has been applied to solve challenges in various construction sites in the city of Helsinki during the last 20 years. 1. INTRODUCTION Mass stabilisation is a ground improvement method where binder is mixed into peat, mud or soft clay. The procedure is carried out with the help of a mixing tool installed on an excavator machine (Figure 1). The mixing tool has been invented in Finland in the beginning of 1990’s. The technology was initially developed for the purpose of stabilising soft peat and clay. As the mass stabilisation technology has evolved new fields of application have been introduced, for instance the treatment of dredged mud and contaminated soils.
