Environmental Planning & Survey

Thanks to a multitude of railway projects realised and the experience gained in combination with environmental planning expertise, Pöyry has a leading know-how in railway-specific environmental planning from environmental impact assessment studies to compliance procedures.

Pöyry's comprehensive array of air quality and noise management services includes regulatory compliance assistance; strategic planning for local, regional and national issues; and monitoring of noise and ambient air quality.

Surveying is an integral part of railway planning. While surveying gives information about the actual status, the track geometry project provides the most important initial variable for planning.
