Railways
At Sito, we have been involved in railway projects since the founding of our company.
Leppävaara urban railway, Leppävaara station
Our railway references range from surveys and consulting to traditional design and planning. Our planning experience covers the entire chain from preplanning to construction plans.

Railway Bridges
We have been involved in the design of over one hundred railway bridges, including Espoonportti, which won the RIL (Finnish Association of Civil Engineers) 2006 Bridge Award.
Consulting and Surveys
We have carried out development assignments and produced design manuals and type drawings for a number of geotechnical, bridge and structural engineering projects. For several years, we have taken part in the RHK (Finnish Rail Administration) environmental survey, and our specialists are often hired for environmental and land use engineering roles by the organization.
Training
We have made significant investments in training and software, such as RailTrack. One of our recent joint ventures with RHK involves a railway traffic planning training programme.
