These ECM3 modules combine the best Nordic solutions to ensure high-quality underground charging. The equipment has been developed based on best practices from Finland, Sweden, and Norway, with strong consideration for customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While all new underground charging units are ECM3 solutions, several features from these top-tier modules have also been introduced to earlier ECM and ECM2 generations, of which dozens are still in use across the Nordic region. Examples of these improvements include new functionalities in the control system, data transfer capabilities, and perhaps most importantly, enhanced control of matrix sensitization. With the ECM3 solution, the sensitization process can be easily managed regardless of prevailing conditions, without the need for additives such as acid. The desired target density is always achieved within the same timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Finland, existing ECM charging modules will be updated accordingly as they are moved to new tunnel projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please contact <strong>Johan Lindholm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Text: <\/strong>Jussi Saavalainen and Ilpo Martikainen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Images:<\/strong> Mari Halonen<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<div class=\"col\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"contacts pb-3\">\r\n\r\n    \r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"row listContact__highlightboxeswrapper position-relative justify-content-md-center filterable\">\r\n        <div class=\"col\">\r\n            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                \r\n                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 py-3 pe-4 filterableItem\" data-aos=\"\" data-aos-delay=\"50\">\r\n\r\n                                                                                    \r\n\r\n                                <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"col-4 col-xl-4\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"contactPersonPhotoWrapper\">\r\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/Johan-1-web-e1723554529636.jpg\" class=\"contactPersonPhoto\" alt=\"Photo of Johan Lindholm\">                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                        <div class=\"col-8 col-xl-8\">\r\n                                            \r\n                                        \r\n                                                                                        <span class=\"fw-bold\" style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">Johan Lindholm<\/span>\r\n                                            \r\n                                                                                        <br>Mines and tunnelling                                            \r\n                                        \r\n                                        \r\n                                        \r\n                                                                                                                                    <a href=\"mailto:johan.lindholm@forcit.fi\" class=\"d-block\"><strong>Send e-mail \u00bb<\/strong><\/a>\r\n                                                                                    \r\n                                        \r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                    \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n    \r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":6970,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[7],"class_list":["post-7064","blogs","type-blogs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blogs\/7064"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blogs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blogs"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blogs\/7064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forcitexplosives.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
