The excavation of the Yläkartanontie entrance will start in the Länsimetro Soukka worksite. Yläkartanontie is one of the two entrances to the completed Metro station.
Making a sheet pile wall will begin the week starting on 21 May in conjunction with the ground construction, which will cause noise pollution.
The pile driving will last an estimated five days, and it can be done on weekdays from Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The working hours are based on a noise permit granted by the Espoo Environment Centre.
Reinforcement work, including injection drilling and bolt drilling, is estimated to be done from the end of May to the middle of October. In the beginning of July the actual open excavation of the entrance will start, which will last to the end of September, and the entire shaft will be ready by the end of October. Excavation work can be done on weekdays from Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The working hours are based on a noise permit granted by the Espoo Environment Centre.
The excavations of the tunnels at the Soukka worksite were already finished at the end of the Summer of 2017.
