Prysmian Tower, Kirkkonummi

We are building a tower intended for holding submarine cables for Prysmian Group's production facility in Kirkkonummi. The tower has reached its highest point and is currently the tallest building in Finland.

Prysmian Group is implementing a new, even higher vertical vulcanization line in the tower, which is top-of-the-line cable manufacturing technology. Vertical vulcanization is an important part of the high-voltage cable manufacturing process. Currently, interior work is being done in the tower from the bottom up. Along with the new cable tower, the investment includes several other new production facilities.

The project highlights our expertise in demanding and versatile production industry construction, as well as our ability to create tailor-made solutions for the customer's needs. We are happy to be part of this project promoting green transition, which is at the heart of our strategy”, said Aleksi Laine, Director of YIT's Infra Segment.

In addition to the tower project, YIT has started a contract that includes the expansion of four hall buildings and the construction of a new material warehouse in the area. The new premises will have an area of ​​26,000 m². The contract includes a lot of demanding foundation construction work, concrete and steel structure work, and building technical work.

Promoting the Green Transition

By investing in Kirkkonummi, Prysmian Group is responding to the growth in demand for land and sea cables spurred by the energy transition and related technology. High-voltage submarine cables are used for the electricity transmission of green transition investments, such as offshore wind farms.

YIT was selected as the implementation partner for the cable tower project in the summer of 2023. The tower reached its ridge height of 185 meters by the end of 2023. The tower is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2025. The entire agreed contract is estimated to be completed in June 2026.
