SRV and Jykia, a municipally-owned property development company, have signed a contract agreement on the implementation of a fibre mill in Eteläportti, Jyväskylä. The project is valued at a total of about Euro 50 million, of which the project management contract accounts for around Euro 16 million.
The project will be recognised in SRV’s order backlog for August. Construction work will begin in autumn 2021. The factory facilities will be completed at the end of 2022.
Jykia is developing the mill for Woodspin Oy, the joint venture of the materials innovation company Spinnova and the pulp company Suzano. The mill will be built in the developing Eteläportti industrial area, located in the southern part of Jyväskylä. It will produce fibre from cellulose for the needs of the textile industry. Suzano Finland Oy’s MFC facility and Spinnova’s product development department and headquarters will also be based in the same property.
The property will have a floor area of about 11,500 m², with production halls measuring around 9,500 m² and offices and laboratories approximately 2,000 m². Preconstruction has been carried out on the plot during the summer. SRV will start foundation works at the beginning of September. The installation of the prefabricated frame will begin at the turn of September and October.
The mill will produce SPINNOVA fibre – an ecological fibre made without dissolving or harmful chemicals. Sustainable energy solutions are in a key role in the construction of the new mill.
SRV is a developer and innovator in the construction industry.
