The hospital enlargement project foresees a total extension of 180,000 square metres with a capacity of 789 beds: the new complex becomes one of the largest hospital areas in Northern Europe. It hosts research laboratories and high-tech departments, as well as university and conference rooms.

The waste system of the new hospital is realised with Silere soundproof pipes, while the Pexal range is installed for water distribution.

What it shows for a Finnish project

In a hospital the sound level of the drainage decides the quiet of the patient rooms. SILERE is a single-layer, thick-walled blend of polypropylene and mineral fillers with a sound level of 6 dB(A) at 2 l/s flow (EN 14366), for internal waste and rainwater drainage where high acoustic comfort is required. PEXAL is the PE-X/Al/PE-X composite pipe system for potable water with a 50-year service life under the defined conditions of EN ISO 21003; Pexal XL covers mains and riser lines up to Ø 110 mm.
