ABSOILS

Honkasuo

This pilot application allows for the utilisation of peat and redundant clays. The solution offered by the Absoils project includes spreading surplus soft clays originating from the capital area on top of the peat layer and stabilising both of them with the use of binders. This type of pre-construction application is important from the point of view of example to follow as there are many other similar sites in the capital area.

If the Honkasuo area were constructed in a traditional way, which in this case means mass replacement, this would require landfilling of about 36 000 m3 of clays and peat and transportation of 45 000 m3 of virgin materials as replacement.
