Kukkia Circlet: Environmentally friendly systems to renovate
secondary
roads. Project in

The project Kukkia Circlet is about the demonstration of
sustainable, environmentally friendly methods and processes
to renovate and maintain secondary road network. The project
innovations are based on earlier R&D in Finland include new
types of road construction materials that are based on
industrial by-products, different types of applications and
structures for the new materials, new types of equipment for
the mixing of the materials, and in-detail-controlled
construction processes to ascertain the target quality and
economic benefits of the renovation.
The applications based on the by-products include
stabilisation of existing road courses, structural courses
to compensate for the conventional stone courses, a
groundwater protection structure on the side of a road and
light traffic paths. The society will benefit from the
sustainable construction system and durable quality of the
secondary roads, economical and efficient maintenance of the
secondary road network, and increasing safety of the
