Around 3,000 tonnes of SSAB’s high‑strength structural steel and drill piles up to 40 metres long at Kruunuvuorenselkä – Helsinki’s new landmark opens
Kruunuvuori Bridge will soon open to the public, forming a new and striking element of Helsinki’s skyline. Linking Laajasalo with the city centre, the bridge is among the largest bridge projects ever undertaken in Finland and exemplifies modern, sustainable infrastructure development. More than 3,000 tonnes of SSAB Domex® structural steel form the backbone of the bridge’s structures. SSAB has also supplied driven piles with special rock shoes, welded at its Oulainen works, in diameters of 1,220 mm and 1,016 mm, as well as drilled piles for the bridge foundations. Photos: SSAB
