Artistic steel construction with Kemppi

A 13-meter high giant pike singing with its mouth wide open now occupies a prime location at the square in front of the Helsinki Music Centre in Helsinki, Finland. The Laulupuut ('Song Trees') artwork, designed by sculptor Reijo Hukkanen, also extends around the pike. The sculpture made of aluminum and steel has proven exceptionally popular. However, both its makers and Hukkanen himself let out a sigh of relief when it was erected in August 2012.

In the 1960s, there was a huge shortage of professional welders in Finnish growth centers. That is why Keijo Olkoniemi, whose career as a welder has lasted for almost 50 years, trained to become a welder, a profession which has offered him challenges throughout his career. ”I remember when they said at the dockyard in Hietaniemi, Helsinki that you can bring a train full of skillful employees, and we will hire them all,” Olkoniemi says, laughing.

Требования к безопасности при сварке становятся все более строгими. Уровень опасности в зоне дуги остается неизменным, однако современные условия труда предполагают продолжительную работу в течение длительных смен и в тесных помещениях, что приводит к накоплению воздействия. Сварочные СИЗ должны рассматриваться как защита для сварщика и как доказательство соответствия требованиям. В компании Kemppi средства индивидуальной защиты для обеспечения безопасности при сварке разрабатываются и проходят практическую проверку на основе четких требований, отзывов сварщиков, а также подтвержденного соответствия Регламенту ЕС 2016/425 о СИЗ, процедурам маркировки CE и соответствующим стандартам EN.

Eurosatory 2026 highlighted a clear shift in modern defence manufacturing. While defence systems are becoming more digital, networked, and autonomous, their foundation remains physical. From armoured vehicles and artillery to industrial resilience, welding quality, steel structures, and production discipline remain paramount to defence readiness.
