Sweco selected as V\u00e4yl\u00e4virasto\u2019s service alliance partner<\/h1>\n

May 19, 2026<\/p>\n

Sweco has been selected as part of the V\u00e4yl\u00e4virasto (Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency\u2019s) service alliance, whose task is to design the replacement of safety equipment and train control systems within the ERTMS programme. In addition, Sweco\u2019s experts in the alliance are responsible for commissioning inspections.<\/p>\n

The aim of V\u00e4yl\u00e4virasto\u2019s ERTMS programme is to replace the safety equipment and train control systems across Finland\u2019s entire rail network in phases by 2040. The alliance now beginning its work is responsible for railway sections in Western and Southern Finland, with a total length of nearly 970 kilometres. These sections include, among others, the main line from Helsinki to Pohjois-Louko, almost reaching Sein\u00e4joki, as well as the coastal line from Helsinki to Uusikaupunki.<\/p>\n

Sweco\u2019s experts are responsible for the design of replacing safety and train control systems, as well as commissioning inspections of the implementations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the service alliance, we bring strong multidisciplinary expertise in railway design as well as experience from similar projects across Europe. We are pleased to contribute to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of Finland\u2019s rail network also in the future,\u201d says Juho Siipo<\/strong>, Division director, Infrastructure and Transportation at Sweco.<\/p>\n
