Renovation of the road and utility infrastructure on Lääkärinkatu as part of the Laakso Joint Hospital project

The work carried out by Kreate’s road builders includes the demolition of existing road and municipal infrastructure, excavation and quarrying work, and the construction of sewerage, stormwater drainage and water supply networks. The project also includes the construction of structural layers, surfacing, paving, kerb supports, lighting and cable structures, as well as green spaces and afforested areas.

The construction site is situated in Laakso, Helsinki, in a bustling urban environment where the development is being coordinated with transport, pedestrian and cycle routes, as well as access routes to the buildings. At the same time, we consider the area’s existing underground infrastructure network. The proximity of the hospital area brings its own specific characteristics to the project and requires smooth coordination with other construction work taking place in the area.

The proximity of Central Park is also evident in the day-to-day life of the building site. Valuable natural sites located in the vicinity of the project area will be considered at all stages of construction. Sustainability, in turn, is reflected in the most efficient possible use of materials; for example, we aim to reuse natural stone, cobblestones and kerbstones from demolition projects whenever possible.

The client is the City of Helsinki, and the main contractor is SRV. The contract period for Kreate is June–November 2026.
