Uponor Barrier PLUS pipes ensure a safe main water supply in Mikkeli in the old industrial area, where numerous new apartment buildings will be built in the next few years.

Barrier-free climate control technology for exceptional architecture

The Pateniemi waterfront area in Oulu, Northern Finland played a role in the history of Finnish industrialisation. In the mid-19th century, its shipyard built large merchant vessels, and later it was the location of one of the largest sawmills of its time. Now, the waterfront is entering a new era with the completion of a residential area for 2,500 inhabitants. Uponor Barrier PLUS pipes – which are both durable and non-permeable – ensure a safe supply of potable water in this area that was in industrial use for over 100 years.

Citizens’ safety comes first when water utility sought to protect the municipality's drinking water from toxic chemicals.
