In addition, Etteplan’s experience in the Russian markets decreases the risks linked to the construction project, ” explains Jukka Kähärä, SRV’s Project Director.
– Russia is an important and growing market area for Etteplan and provides work especially for the company’s offices in eastern Finland, in particular in the form of building services and production plant projects.
