Construction phase of Jokeri Light Rail is estimated to finish ahead of schedule next year with traffic set to start earlier than planned in 2024. Once construction is finished, the infrastructure will be thoroughly tested.<\/p>\n

Jokeri Light Rail construction has lasted for about two years and the Espoo side of the project will be completed this year. In 2022 finishing touches will be conducted in Espoo and construction work in Helsinki will continue in Patterim\u00e4ki tunnel, Eliel Saarisen road, Viikinkaari and Varikkoroad.<\/p>\n

Both end stops in Keilaniemi and It\u00e4keskus are to be finished in 2022 as well.<\/p>\n

Construction has been boosted in part by the Covid-19 pandemic. Less traffic has enabled construction to move faster than expected in Espoo\u2019s Otaniemi and Lepp\u00e4vaara.<\/p>\n

Faster construction has in part made it easier to stay in budget says Project Manager Juha Saarikoski on Helsingin Sanomat<\/a> (18.5.2021, in Finnish). Faster completion also brings a lot of cost savings says Saarikoski.<\/p>\n

According to Saarikoski staying within budget and schedule is important when it comes to the reputation of large infra rail projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a big deal for both us and any future railway projects. I\u2019ve considered it very important to take this as a positive example. Big infrastructure projects occasionally get a bad reputation in Finland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Infrakit is used in the project as a flexible collaboration tool for all parties.<\/p>\n

Tomi M\u00e4kel\u00e4 from YIT, acting as Head Surveyor in the Jokeri Light Rail project, is an Infrakit main user. M\u00e4kel\u00e4 sees plenty of benefits in using Infrakit in this model-based project. \u201cWe use a lot of photos in construction. Supervisors, employees and excavator operators upload a steady stream of photos on construction progress into Infrakit. We currently have more than 10,000 photos of the project. This is a big number, which is getting bigger all the time. We create folders for the photos. It\u2019s also been made as easy as possible to add photos to folders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Infrakit also makes cooperation easier within the alliance. \u201cHSY can view photographs and completed pipeline networks through Infrakit. Photos provide valuable information on how construction is progressing. Infrakit\u2019s orthophotos have been praised, as they provide an up-to-date situational image,\u201d says M\u00e4kel\u00e4. \u201cDuring the implementation stage, supervisors can also view the photos and situational images in Infrakit on site, on their tablets.\u201d<\/p>\n
