Skanska Builds Wastewater Treatment Plant in Nokia, Finland

Skanska has signed a contract with Nokian Vesi Oy to build a wastewater treatment plant in Nokia, Finland. The contract is worth EUR35 million, which will be included in the Nordic order bookings for the fourth quarter of 2024. 

The project includes construction, machinery, HVAC, building electrical and building automation work for a new treatment plant. It will consist of four new buildings: the process plant, the monitoring building, a garage and repair building and an equalization pumping station. The facility will have a size of approximately 12,000 square metres. Its increasing capacity is designed to meet the future needs of the growing city.

The wastewater treatment plant will utilise mechanical, biological and chemical purification techniques. Due to modern purification technology, nitrogen and other pollutants can be removed from the water significantly more efficiently than before.

The construction has begun in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.
