Pohjola Football Stadium.<br />

The stadium is the first built example of Finnforest’s Silva-Stadium concept.<br />

The project was built in order to study and further develop the particular use of<br />

Kerto Laminated Veneer Lumber and plywood in stand and canopy structures.<br />

By using timber it was possible to meet fire resistance and compartmentation<br />

requirements without added costs. The necessary boxing in of steel components<br />

for fire safety reasons was achieved using plywood and Kerto timber.<br />
