66 km høyspentlinjer bygges

Omexom in Finland, in partnership with Omexom France, is executing the Järvilinja 1 (Lake Line) transmission project for Fingrid, Finland’s national grid operator. The project includes constructing 66 km of double-circuit 400 kV and 110 kV overhead transmission lines, erecting 216 new transmission towers, and dismantling 51 km of outdated infrastructure involving the removal of 223 towers. The majority of the new towers are guyed tubular types, with the remainder being lattice self-supporting structures.

Første 400 kV prosjekt i Finland

As Omexom's first 400-kV project in Finland, it required specific design adaptations and unique technical specifications, notably the deployment of new guyed tubular tower types for both voltage levels. The project has progressed through major milestones such as design, procurement, foundation, assembly, erection, and stringing. The current final phase is ongoing and proceeding on schedule, despite complex outages management and challenging conditions.

Internasjonalt team med mangfold

The project highlights strong international collaboration, involving a multicultural workforce representing over 10 nationalities across four continents. The team operates with shared standards and clear coordination while communicating in multiple languages including Spanish, English, French, and Finnish. Omexom introduced an inclusive HR strategy by hiring and relocating a full African team to Finland, reflecting diversity and forward-thinking workforce management.

Miljøvennlig bygging i krevende terreng

Environmental sustainability is a key focus, with all project vehicles running on renewable diesel, an initiative praised by Fingrid. Construction in remote, swampy terrain near Vuolijoki has required working in winter conditions on frozen ground, yet the project maintains steady progress toward its expected completion in 2026. This project exemplifies Omexom's comprehensive EPC service capabilities and commitment to integrating technical challenge management with cultural diversity and environmental responsibility.
