Railroads, routes and bridges

The more demanding the project, the more open and collaborative the implementation model needs to be for the parties to establish a shared understanding of the challenges and objectives as well as the optimal model of implementation.

At the same time as new tram lines are being busily built in Greater Helsinki and Tampere, the opportunities provided by rail connections have also become a hot topic in many other areas. The new coming of rail traffic is primarily based on the requirements set by sustainability and a denser urban structure.

A basic part of any construction work, land surveying is usually carried out in three different stages of infrastructure projects. When planning a construction project, in this case a linear light rail project, initial data is collected by performing various surveys in the area. The next important surveys take place when the plans are complete and the next step is to put the plans into practice at the actual location. As some of the work phases are completed at the site, it is time for the third survey, which ensures that each phase has been performed with high quality and that the end result is in line with the plans.

The development stage of Jokeri Light Rail involved the design and implementation of a light railway and a depot. The project is based on a so-called alliance model and is carried out together with the other parties in the alliance.

The light rail line will be implemented using an alliance model, with the City of Tampere and Tampereen Raitiotie Oy as the customers and NRC Group Finland Oy, YIT Finland Ltd and Pöyry Finland Oy as the service providers. We are involved in both the development and implementation phase.

The development phase of the Crown Bridges alliance includes the development of the Crown Bridges tramway and other demanding infrastructure works in the area. The construction phase includes the construction of the entire tramway and and the 400-metre Merihaka Bridge. In addition, the alliance has the task of renewing and building street infrastructure.

We have built Länsimetro tunnels and stations in a number of projects with the aim to streamline traffic between Helsinki and Espoo and to help the cities reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

We will build the Atlantinsilta bridge in Jätkäsaari for the City of Helsinki. When completed, it will serve both local residents and passengers arriving at the West Terminal.

The longest highway tunnel in Finland improves the flow and safety of traffic as well as contributes to the development of Tampere city centre.

We demolished the old Kalajoki railway bridges and replaced them with new tensioned, continuous beam concrete-structure bridges, the superstructures of which were joined with a second stage concrete lane in 2017 so that they form a single bridge. The contract forms part of the Seinäjoki–Oulu railway project.
