Aquaturbo’s snow melt solution in Helsinki, Finland
At Aquaturbo, we worked with Waterix, our distributor in Finland, to deliver a sustainable snow management solution for the city of Helsinki.
Challenge
In Finland, excessive snowfall creates both logistical and environmental issues. When roads are cleared, the snow is transported to snow disposal areas where part of snow is dumped into the sea, which raises pollution concerns. The city of Helsinki needed a more sustainable way to manage snowmelt in its water related disposal areas.
Solution:
Our experts installed a MIX SL mixer in a dock, a solution known for its robustness and efficiency. This system pushes accumulated snow forward in the snow melting basins, enabling a controlled melting process. By reducing the direct dumping of polluted snow into the sea, we helped reduce environmental impact and improve compliance with sustainability standards.
Results
- We provided Helsinki with a more sustainable snow disposal method.
- Aquaturbo’s solution improved efficiency in snowmelt management in the snow melting basins.
- Our MIX SL has been operating reliably for over three years, proving its durability in harsh conditions.
