The conventional method for foundations facing
permafrost conditions has been to use large and
heavy pre-fabricated blocks of concrete or steel
for transmission line towers or pipeline
foundations. In other cases pile foundations are
used. The project idea is to establish a basis
for further investigations, and, ideally, to
present some attractive, environmentally friendly
and economical solutions applicable in practical
design. Emphasis will be put on using local
materials and know-how, if applicable.

HELSTU KOSTIR Lower production and transport
cost Lower carbon exhaust due to decreased
transport and fuel use and changed production
methods for more sustainable raw materials
Less local environmental impact in terms of
underlying hydrology due to lighter and less
damaging foundation materials
