Road construction

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) carries out full-scale road, street and square construction cycle, starting from the design elaboration, documentation preparation, and demolition works, to the construction of foundations, utilities and new coatings, building improvement and commissioning.

The company carries out all types of road construction works in Latvia since 1997 and has implemented projects of a wide range and volume. Like other companies of the YIT Group (formerly “Lemminkäinen group”), it is provided with the most modern road construction machinery and is able to offer modern technological solutions, incl. supply of mixtures of bituminous concrete, CBGM (cement and mineral materials), and recycled mixtures that comply with the highest requirements. These opportunities are based on the company's machinery, work resource and equipment management system not only in Latvia, but all over Northern Europe (in countries where YIT parent company operates) as well as on the successful cooperation between YIT (formerly “Lemminkäinen”) branches, where the professional experience and skills of experts was developed through collaboration and implementation of projects at the international level.

Construction of road base layers

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) carries out works on construction of base layers of roads, streets, squares, and other traffic areas.

Construction of road base layers

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) carries out works on construction of base layers of roads, streets, squares, and other traffic areas.

In order to ensure proper service life and operational characteristics of the coating of a road or other traffic area, it is necessary to correctly perform the construction of basic layers starting from the deepest ground layers to the frost-resistant layers and crushed stone coating. Given the company's long experience in road construction, we are able to offer customers the most suitable and efficient technologies for these works. Construction of the base layers of the planned traffic area may include works such as ground layer preparation, construction of trenches and embankments, ditch digging, slope building, and construction of frost-resistant layer and structural layer of crushed stones.

Construction of asphalt coatings

Selection of a suitable type of bituminous concrete by taking into account the intended purpose of use ensures the desired service life of the coating and the expected operational characteristics.

Our experts will recommend you the most suitable material and will implement works on construction of bituminous concrete coating. Regardless of the planned asphalt coating construction site – whether it is a vehicle parking lot, street, highway, airport runway, or sports ground, our experts will be able to offer the most appropriate type of construction pavement, will carry out the designing and production of the specific bituminous concrete material in one of the bituminous concrete production plants owned by the company in compliance with the specifications and requirements set forth by the customer, international standards and the specific project.

Territory improvement works

All kinds of territory improvement works.

Territory improvement works

All kinds of territory improvement works.

When roads, streets and parking lots are built, in addition to the traffic areas, the territories adjacent to the specific objects have to be properly improved. YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvia”) offers customers to carry out territory improvement works, incl. installation of benches and waste bins, cleaning and greening of slopes as well as other improvement works.

“Rut Remix” technology

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) offers customers the road rut repair with Remix technology, which is very popular in the neighbouring countries.

“Rut Remix” technology

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) offers customers the road rut repair with Remix technology, which is very popular in the neighbouring countries

Application of this technology means that the vehicle rut areas are remixed – hot re-stirred by adding a new material that improves the granulometry of the raw material of the old road coating and restores the binding properties; then, the new bituminous concrete mixture is covered and compacted, while maintaining or correcting the transverse and longitudinal profile of the coating wearing layer. Application of the technology brings economic benefit, since the repair of the road surface is carried out only in the places of ruts where it is necessary, and not along the entire width of the road. Respectively, the amount of the consumed material and the necessary resources is reduced, since only the places that do not give the road users the opportunity to move comfortably and safely along the road have to be restored.

Paving works

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) offers full-scale paving works to its customers.

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) offers full-scale paving works to its customers.

We perform concrete and granite paving works for various purposes of use – for road transport, bicycle and pedestrian movement, including the preparation of load-appropriate base, construction of levelling intermediate layer and pavement, including dismantling of old pavement, concrete slab pavement and foundation, if necessary.

Surface treatment

Full-cycle single and double surface treatment.

Surface treatment

Full-cycle single and double surface treatment.

The surface treatment works in the road construction include consecutive laying of one layer of binder and one layer of crushed stone fraction where a single surface is treated or consecutive laying of the first layer of binder and the first layer of crushed stone, after which the second layer of binder and the second layer of crushed stone fraction with crushed stone of smaller size is laid – in case of a double surface treatment. Since 2014 the company has proven its compliance with standard EN 12271 and offers its customers appropriate full-cycle single and double surface treatment works from the development of surface treatment project and a working formula to the performance of surface treatment works, quality assessment and preparation of executive documentation.

CBGM mixtures

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) is one of the first road construction companies in Latvia, which has provided the construction sites with the possibility to produce CBGM mixtures used in road construction for construction of cement-related structural layers.

Our experts in cooperation with YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkäinen”) professionals have mastered this construction technology and are able to design and produce CBGM mixtures in compliance with the requirements, as well as to construct load-bearing structural base layers related to the binders by respecting all requirements of the customer. CBGM mixtures are produced in the mobile cold recycling plant located in or near the site territory, which provides proportional and precise dosing of the material and enables permanent control of the production process during the mixture producing as well as timely delivery of the finished mixture to the site.

Recycling works

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) is one of the first road construction companies in Latvia, which has performed and offers to its customers the recycling (cold processing) of structural road layers associated with binders and its stabilization with the addition of cement.

YIT (formerly LLC “Lemminkainen Latvija”) is one of the first road construction companies in Latvia, which has performed and offers to its customers the recycling (cold processing) of structural road layers associated with binders and its stabilization with the addition of cement.

At the first stage of the recycling works, the main loosening (recycling) of the existing bituminous concrete coating or/and coating is carried out. At the second stage of the works, stabilizing works are carried out aimed at the improving of the load carrying capacity. During these stages, cement or/and other new mineral material and water is added in a certain proportion, which is mixed with the pre-loosened material during recycling. The resulting mixture is profiled and rolled to obtain the necessary project parameters.
