This was a complex project involving challenging rock blasting work and foundation construction. The work was conducted on the most heavily used apron at the airport, creating an exceptionally challenging operating environment. The movement of aircraft around the work site imposed stringent safety and efficiency requirements.

The project was carried out under a very tight schedule, requiring significant resources and meticulous planning. Louhintahiekka's role was crucial in ensuring that Finavia's objectives were met on time and without compromising on quality.
