Caverion and its alliance partners to implement a new hospital in Oulu, Finland - One of the biggest projects for Caverion
Caverion and its alliance partners have signed a contract with Northern Ostrobothnia Hospital District to implement the so-called B-part for a new building of the university hospital in Oulu. Caverion will be responsible for the B-hospital’s technical solutions, safety and communications technology and design management. The value of the contract for Caverion is over EUR 100 million.
The project is part of the Future Hospital OYS 2030 project, in which the new hospital gets facilities for accident and emergency, intensive care surgery and maternity wards. The new hospital comprises buildings A and B which form a single, ten-floor entity. A total of EUR 375 million is being invested to the new hospital by the hospital district.
The B building will be executed by Caverion Suomi Oy, Skanska Talonrakennus Oy and Siemens Osakeyhtiö with Tierna group, including A-lnsinöörit Oy, arkkitehtitoimisto Tähti-Set Oy, Lukkaroinen Arkkitehdit Oy, UKI Arkkitehdit Oy and Granlund Oy. The buildings will be completed in phases during 2022-2023.
“This contract strengthens Caverion’s position in demanding hospital projects in Finland. Our good experience of cooperation with our alliance partners in the Kainuu hospital project in Finland gives us a solid basis to implement this large-scale project, which utilises state-of-the-art technology in many forms,” says Ville Tamminen, Executive Vice President, Caverion Finland.
