Railway Infrastructure
Pöyry has extensive experience in the planning, design, construction management and supervision of high-speed rail, conventional passenger rail and freight rail services. This is particularly so in the very recent HSR program initiatives in Algeria, China, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan.
In conventional passenger rail and freight rail services, Pöyry's expertise has been used extensively for upgrading and improvement projects in Northern and Central Europe as well as in Eastern Europe and Turkey.
