STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampere city in Finland is growing rapidly with the average of
2000 citizens annually. The city is congested with buses and
adding more busses into the traffic is not an option for the city
council. The decision to strengthen the sustainable development of
public transport, will support the urbanization and growth in
Tampere. New tram lines will
connect people with places in a safe and more effective way.
"Rail transport is an ideal solution to avoid congestion in
urban areas. It is the true sustainable way of transport - a
cleaner, safer and quicker way of getting from A to B", says
Henning Olsen CEO of NRC Group ASA.
Tampere Tramway Oy and the City of
Tampere have appointed NRC Group Finland, a company wholly
owned by NRC Group ASA, to a contract for tramway related work in
Finland. The contract is an
extension of the ongoing alliance contract where NRC Finland's
share of the extension is approximately EUR
16 million. The alliance consists of NRC Group Finland, YIT,
Sweco and AFRY.
The alliance parties will jointly build a new tramline between
Pyynikintori and Santalahti, and will involve construction of
double tram tracks, tram stops, supply stations and bridges. The
work will commence in November 2020
and the project is scheduled for completion in December 2023.
"We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with the
alliance in the second phase. The alliance is committed to deliver
new sustainable solutions to the City of
Tampere in the coming years. This extension demonstrates our
strong position in Finland and
unique competencies within light rail projects ", says
Henning Olsen, CEO of NRC Group.
