In a contract worth US$6.4 million, Finnish engineering firm 6727 Pöyry is to design the Vauhtitie underpass bridge, the opening of the nearby railway tunnel, and the road layout of the Vauhtitie area of Helsinki for the Helsinki City rail loop. In addition, Pöyry's water maintenance network designers will design the pipe and cable transfers required by the rail loop. Pöyry architects are also involved in the design of the Hakaniemi station and its road tunnels.

The Helsinki City rail loop is a commuter rail loop to be built underneath the centre of Helsinki. Pöyry is also responsible for rock construction and geological planning in the Töölö area, and will carry out bedrock surveys on the eastern side of the loop.
 
"Pöyry's wide experience in the design of railways and underground construction makes them a good partner in this significant project," says project manager Jussi Lindberg from the Finnish Transport Agency.
 
The total value of the above assignments is US$6.4 million. The order was recognised in the Regional Operations business stock in Q4.
