Projects

Rail Baltica

Rail Baltica is a joint megaproject of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, aimed at constructing a railway connection from Tallinn to Warsaw. This project will link the Baltic countries to the European railway network and is one of the most significant railway projects in Europe. The procurement decision for Rail Baltica was announced in March 2025, and the parties selected for constructing the Estonian section signed alliance agreements in May 2025.

The assignment for Vison and BrainTeam in this project includes designing the project system and procurement strategy, providing procurement consulting, and offering project management consulting during the development and implementation phases.

From Kalasatama to Pasila

The Kalasatama to Pasila tram project involved the construction of approximately 4.5 km of tram tracks and surrounding infrastructure.

Raide-Jokeri

Raide-Jokeri is a light rail line being constructed between East Helsinki (Itäkeskus) and Keilaniemi in Espoo, with a total length of 25 kilometers. The project was carried out using the alliance model between 2019 and 2023. The light rail line 15 began operations as planned in October 2023.

Vison conducted the project’s implementation model study. In the workshops we led, we covered topics such as project phasing and division, implementation model options, and the procurement process. Additionally, we were responsible for designing and executing the procurement process and preparing the tender documents.

TOAS Mikontalo

In August 2023, the Tampere Student Housing Foundation (TOAS) launched its first takt production project with a major renovation of TOAS Mikontalo, the largest individual property complex owned by the client. Over the course of 2023–2024, the property will undergo a significant refurbishment. As part of the renovation, the existing shared apartments will be converted into studio and one-bedroom units.

Vison acted as the project management and takt production consultant for the project. The role included coaching the design team in takt principles, preparing a preliminary takt schedule to support the contractor tendering process in collaboration with the client, and developing the takt schedule further together with the client and the main contractor.

Kajave

The electricity distribution network reliability investments, along with fault management, maintenance, and connection works in Kajave Oy’s network area, will be carried out through alliances (eastern and western network areas). The alliances include both investment projects and services. The execution of investments will take place between 2024 and 2027. The client’s budget estimate for the project is approximately 120 million euros, including optional years.

Vison has been involved in the project since the selection of the implementation model, assisting the client with the implementation model study, as well as the planning and execution of the project and its procurement process.

Key personnel: Eero Moilanen, Veera Muukkonen

Tiedostava työmaa

Helsinki Region Student Housing Foundation (Hoas) launched the Tiedostava työmaa (Conscious Construction Site) concept in August, aiming to make social responsibility visible through practical actions on construction sites. The concept places the worker at the center of the construction site, in line with lean philosophy, and aims to standardize this approach across all Hoas construction sites in the coming years.

Vison has been closely involved in the development of the concept. Tiedostava työmaa was implemented as a pilot for Vision’s Value Management System in Construction research project.

Key personnel: Aron Sajavaara

Consortium projects

IPD project program

The Clients’ IPT Project Program was launched in 2014. Since then, numerous pilot projects have been implemented under the IPD development initiatives, with a combined value now exceeding €2.8 billion. These pilot projects have played a key role in driving systemic change within the construction sector.

  • IPT: 2014–2016

  • IPT2: 2017–2019

  • IPT3: 2020–2022

  • IPT4: 2022–2025

Vison has served as the coordinator of the project program.

Key personel: Jani Saarinen, Nina Flinck

LYRA project

Lean and collaboration in the construction industry, i.e. LYRA, is a joint research and development project by stakeholders, with the goal of improving value creation and productivity in the construction sector. The project will be carried out in 2025–2028 as a group project under LCI Finland, and it is guided, implemented and funded by a project consortium consisting of various actors in the field.

LYRA continues the successful cooperation of the RAIN3 and IPT4 projects more closely between clients and service providers. The project aims to ensure value creation, broadly increase capability, and standardize and scale up good practices.

Vison acts as the coordinator of the project.

Key personel: Sari Koskelo, Lauri Merikallio

Research project

Client objectives have incorporated aspects of responsibility since the very first alliance projects. Our research into over 50 projects involving Vison revealed that nearly half of the goals set during the procurement phase are related to responsibility in some way. The focus on turning responsibility into measurable values is of growing interest in the industry, particularly in public construction projects over the past few years.

One of the key value-related questions behind responsibility is the balance of various interests – what values and goals are actually driving the activities? Who defines the values that are being targeted in the construction project?

Responsibility is being explored in Vison’s research and development project, Value Management System in Construction. The aim of the project is to study the connection between value creation and responsibility, as well as identify the collaborative implementation models’ guiding mechanisms and metrics that can transform responsibility goals into genuinely guiding, comparable, and repeatable outcomes.

10 years of alliance projects

Over the past 10 years, Vison has served as a consultant, expert and coach on some 100 complex IPD projects from railways, hospitals and churches to infrastructure maintenance and ICT projects executed using the alliance model. The total value of these consultation projects exceeds 7 billion euros. The following list concludes all Vison’s projects since 2012.
