Portier Sonic Installation in the Valmet Headquarters in Vantaa, Finland

Tikkurila is a district and major region of the municipality of Vantaa, Finland. Located in the eastern half of the Helsinki conurbation, some 16 kilometers north of the capital’s downtown district, it is the administrative and commercial hub of Vantaa. Tikkurila is located close to the Helsinki Airport, and it has a third busiest train station in Finland.

A new office property, 6 stories with 20 000 square meters, has been completed in Tikkurila, Vantaa. Tenants will be moving into the new premises starting in January 2025. Valmet will welcome 800 of its employees to its new headquarters, as will many other companies since the building is already fully booked. Valmet is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries with its shares listed in Nasdaq Helsinki. A parking garage will serve more than 600 drivers with 200 spaces equipped with EV-charging possibilities. The parking facility serves Valmet employees in addition to other tenants in the office complex, as well as visiting retail customers.

An LCD- entry screen welcomes visitors, indicating the availability of spaces for contract parkers and for grocery store customers. Portier Sonic space-specific ultrasonic sensors help drivers to find an available parking space by indicating it with a green LED. Well-organized parking guidance reduces idle driving around and makes the complete parking process in such a big facility convenient and less polluted.

Portier parking guidance solution in this location has been integrated with a third-party mobile application. This is again a good example of the flexibility of Portier parking guidance products as well as Portier HOST platform’s integration possibilities.
