Creation of High Voltage Power lines

Project Highlights

The entry to the North European market dates back to 2011, when Sirti was awarded the tender called by the state company Fingrid Oy for the construction of a major power line in Finland.

In 2013, Sirti continued its international development strategy, being awarded a significant contract by state company Svenska Kraftnat.

In the following months, the company strengthened its presence in Sweden with a new strategic project in the energy market, where it won a new tender in May 2013 called by Svenska Kraftnat for the construction of a 400 kV energy transport overhead line, over 40 km long, in the southern region.

These experiences demonstrate the ability to manage project activities and complex operational scenarios, and bear witness to the capacity of Sirti to play a strategic role on the international stage. Also, they witness the appreciation received in the northern European market, one of the most promising and competitive, of great interest for its high growth potential within the infrastructure .

Objectives

The first contract in Finland in 2011 involved the construction of a major power line. The subsequent contracts Sirti was awarded in Sweden in 2013 envisaged the construction of a 300 kV energy transport overhead line, over 64 km long, in the south of Sweden and the construction of a 400 kV energy transport overhead line, over 40 km long, in the southern region.

Both initiatives fall within the “South West Link” project, the strategic National Grid programme, both for Svenska Kraftnat and the Swedish economy, which provides for the construction of a massive infrastructure connecting the south and the rest of the country.
