The extremely challenging foundation works for the Government Palace renovation and extension project

As part of the Government Palace renovation and extension project, Kreate is carrying out highly complex foundation works at a site of significant architectural and historical value, situated on the edge of Senate Square in Helsinki. Kreate is working on the project as a partner of Consti Korjausrakentaminen Oy.

The Government Palace renovation and extension project comprises the renovation of the Government Palace and the construction of a possible extension.

Kreaten’s contract involves highly demanding groundworks, such as foundation reinforcement, structural shoring and jet grouting, as well as challenging excavation work.

The Government Palace is a project that is exceptionally demanding from both a cultural-historical and technical perspective, highlighting expertise in specialised foundation engineering, meticulous planning and the ability to carry out complex works in a valuable and protected environment.

Work on the Kreate project will begin in September 2026. The project is expected to be completed during 2030.
