Infrastructure and transportation
A sustainable and efficient transport system and infrastructure meet future mobility needs.
We create the conditions for a good living environment
In today’s urbanised society, the need for sustainably and cost-effectively designed infrastructure is greater than ever before. With the help of Sweco’s experts, we achieve solutions that make people’s everyday lives easier.
We are involved in promoting ecologically, economically, socially and culturally sustainable development. With our wide-ranging expertise, we create safe transport, efficient infrastructure and sustainable energy and water supply solutions.
As cities grow and become denser, the low-emission mobility needs of the future must be taken into account and the community structure must be developed on a long-term basis. We design infrastructure and transport systems that improve mobility and make people’s daily lives easier in the communities and cities of the future. We also utilise the best digital solutions in the industry.
Sweco’s traffic planning experts support sustainable and resource-efficient mobility choices and smart mobility opportunities. Sweco is a leading rail transport expert involved in Finnish rail and tramway projects. We promote the use of sustainable modes of transport in land use planning and also, for example, in city bike projects.
In-depth knowledge of the operating methods and infrastructure of the transport system guarantees high-quality surveys, reviews and expert services at different stages of planning. Our expertise covers preliminary planning, traffic modelling, walking and cycling plans, land use traffic planning as well as traffic and mobility control.
We also manage demanding and risky projects implemented using the alliance model. We are involved in several current alliance projects around Finland. At the moment, we are planning e.g. Tampere tramway and Jokeri Light Rail as part of the alliance.
A bright future for rail transport

Finally, in autumn 2016, the bottles popped open and sparkling water was poured into the glasses. The members of the Tramway Alliance, which is planning the Tampere tramway, had just learned that the City Council had approved the plans for the development phase of the Tramway Alliance, which enabled them to move on to the implementation phase. The construction of the 15-kilometre-long tramway in Tampere started at a rapid pace already at the end of 2016.
For the first time in over a hundred years, a completely new tramway system was developed and built in Finland.
