Sweco Lietuva has two roles in the Rail Baltica project: it is part of the consortium that is responsible for the infrastructure development plan and the environmental assessment of the Vilnius-Kaunas section of the track, and its labs provide soil testing services for the geotechnical investigation.
To meet the project demand, the company’s lab has streamlined its work routines and expanded its working capacities to facilitate the amount of analyses required by Rail Baltica. From a national perspective, the wide scope of the project and the experience of the parties involved allows the geotechnical community to continuously improve its working standards. From an international perspective, cooperation between Sweco Lietuva and DB Engineering & Consulting GMbH allows engineers to learn and accumulate experience on a scale that local projects cannot offer.
