Electrical installations and maintenance work at the Kevitsa mining site

"The staff from Caverion are skilled and familiar with official guidelines, so we can be sure that installations are done safely, in accordance with installation standards."
Electrical installations are often done on a tight schedule, and it is important that projects or the operation of the mine are not affected by delays in electrical work. Caverion will provide the necessary personnel for the projects to ensure that the installation and maintenance work gets done on time.
