Groundworks – A strong foundation for every project
Groundworks are the foundation of a construction project, literally. At HVM Infra, we carry out even the most demanding groundworks safely, cost-effectively and on time.
Groundworks in Finland and Northern Sweden
Groundworks are the foundation of all construction and is linked to the other services we offer. It aims to ensure that buildings and infrastructure such as roads, bridges and others have a load-bearing, safe and durable base. The work starts with soil investigation and continues with various strengthening, support and foundation measures to ensure the functionality, longevity and safety of the structures.
Groundworks are needed for almost all construction projects, including residential and commercial buildings, industrial sites, infrastructure and energy investments. A properly designed and implemented foundation prevents buckling, cracks and other structural damage, and sets the stage for the success of the entire project. Well done groundworks reduce risks and prevents costly repairs.
Our services cover the entire process, from earthworks to piling, mass transfer, stabilisation, and foundation structures.
Working in difficult soil conditions
We have long experience of working in difficult soil conditions. Working with us, you can be sure of a successful foundation for your project in varying soils.
Designing with data
Well planned is half done, this is especially true for groundworks. Using data from soil surveys, we plan our groundwork measures on a site-by-site basis.
We put safety first
Just as successful groundworks ensure safe construction, we ensure site safety at all our sites.
Precise work with machine control
Our machine control software tells our excavator operators where to dig and how deep to dig, so we get everything done exactly as planned.

Frequently asked questions about groundworks
How do you know which method for foundations is right?
The type of foundation will be determined on the basis of soil investigations and structural design. On soft soils, piling or stabilisation is often used, while on bearing soils, earth foundations are sufficient.
What are the stages of groundworks?
The work starts with soil surveys and continues with earthworks, piling, mass transfer, stabilisation and foundation works.
How do you minimise the environmental impact of groundworks?
In groundworks, the aim is to minimise environmental impact by using recycled materials, managing stormwater and designing transport routes. Earth materials will be recycled wherever possible, and dust and noise nuisance from construction sites will be controlled.
How do I get a quote for groundworks?
Contact us at the planning stage of your project. We will go through the initial site data, assess the foundation needs and prepare a competitive, realistic offer. You can request a quote from the contact person responsible. Their contact details can be found higher up in the page.
