Civil engineering services offered by VR Track Oy

On and off the track

Civil engineering is one of our fastest growing sectors. It covers work on track substructure, bridges and station trackwork carried out in connection with the construction of new railway lines and maintenance and renewal of existing tracks.

There is also growing demand for our expertise outside the railway business.

Our operations range from subcontracting to large projects involving all stages. The crucial factor is to put together different subprojects and work stages into a well-managed process.
