PURKU — demo­li­tion as part of urban devel­op­ment — eco-effi­cient uti­liza­tion of demo­li­tion mate­ri­als in infra­struc­ture and real estate con­struc­tion

The PURKU project devel­ops a new type of val­ue chain for con­struc­tion, where demo­li­tion is part of the begin­ning of the val­ue chain and life cycle mod­els. The pilot sites are research­ing and test­ing new meth­ods as part of the oper­at­ing meth­ods of demo­li­tion sites, where the aggre­gate is crushed for reuse on or near the site and the mate­ri­als are not trans­port­ed else­where for pro­cess­ing.

The project is co-fund­ed by the Euro­pean Union.
