The museum site is roughly 45 hectares. Given the special location of the site in the heart of Utrechtse Heuvelrug, specific focus was given to the conservation and development of natural assets. The large museum complex can be found in the middle of the grounds. As well as the main building, the area also houses a depot and a couple of warehouses that, among other things, accommodate other exhibits used for demonstrations. The grounds are home to a memorial square and a quiet garden that provide space for remembrance and reflection. Further on, there is a monument with an important historical value - it is the oldest building in the Netherlands with a link to military aviation. The wooden building and its tower are currently being fully restored to their original state. The large surrounding outdoor area provides space for events.
From the end of 2014, the Netherlands’ new National Military Museum will bring together the collections of the Army Museum in Delft and the Military Aviation Museum in Soesterberg. The need for the best possible indoor environment at the museum is enormous. While the conditions in which age-old museum pieces are stored is essential, a pleasant indoor environment is also important to visitors. The museum complex is thus equipped with a range of sustainable technologies, including concrete core activation. Fitting Uponor industrial underfloor heating on the ground floor and a TAB Omegaprofiel on the first floor makes a major contribution to creating an optimum indoor environment.

Tailored renovation solution
The Vierimaantie road, located close to the town centre of Ylivieska, Finland has a concrete sewer line constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. A decision was taken to renovate this sewer using a tailored solution, and the product developed for this purpose is now also available to other customers.
Old water intake plant upgraded to modern version
The Hietasärkä water intake plant is part of the Suomussalmi water supply system, the task of which is to ensure the sufficiency of clean drinking water for the needs of municipal residents. Corrosion damage to the water supply network was previously prevented with lye, but due to safety risks, it was replaced by a chemical-free method. At the same time, an extensive overall renovation was carried out at the water intake plant.

Brønderslev implements new treatment methods
To ensure water quality in nature, Brønderslev Utility is now intensifying its efforts to safely treat rainwater. Uponor Infra is supplying specially designed treatment chambers to treat rainwater from a 20-hectare area before it is discharged into a stormwater basin.
Safe water supply for an old shipyard and sawmill area
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.
Espoo's Itäranta is being renovated sustainably
HSY (Helsinki Region Environmental Services HSY) is testing a new kind of area renovation operating model in Itäranta, Espoo, where the aim is to get the area's water supply network in order once and for all. New steps are also being taken towards more sustainable construction: the selected Uponor Blue pipes utilising renewable raw materials will reduce the carbon footprint of pipeline installations by 70% compared to traditional plastic pipes.
Uponor-filterbrønde en del af regnvandsundersøgelsen
I de senere år er kvalitetsstyring af regnvand blevet en stadig vigtigere del af byernes regnvandsstrategier. Et pilotprojekt blev lanceret i Heinola for at rense regnvand med innovative filterbrønde udviklet af Uponor. Samtidig vil der blive indsamlet værdifulde forskningsdata om regnvandskvaliteten fra to forskellige typer områder og om de rensningsresultater, der opnås med filterbrønde.
Weholite limits overflows and pollution in London
Uponor’s Weholite technology was the key solution in a unique project in London, where the Lee Tunnel and Thames Tideway tunnel have the task of capturing an average of 39 million tonnes of sewage a year from the 35 most polluting combined sewer overflows (CSOs). An upgraded pipeline system was designed to reduce the number of overflows – and their environmental impact – from the sewers and treatment systems serving London. A particular aim is to limit pollution from the sewers and treatment systems connected to the Beckton and Crossness sewage treatment works.
Uponor Vortex stormwater solution
