Maintenance

Area-wide maintenance contracts for road and street networks and industrial sites

It is very important that road weather conditions can be anticipated, especially in winter maintenance, in order to choose the right measures and time them correctly. Anticipation means starting de-icing even before roads turn slippery, while timeliness has to do with optimising the amount of work and timing it correctly. Destia and the Finnish Meteorological Institute together run a road weather maintenance centre where experienced meteorologists and experts specialising in winter road maintenance are at road users’ disposal 24 hours a day throughout winter.

Destia is the leading company to maintain traffic routes and traffic areas in Finland. In area-wide projects, a customised package is agreed with the customer that will best address its needs and aims. The customer can contact an appointed representative at Destia anytime.

Area-wide road maintenance contracts

Area-wide maintenance contracts awarded by Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment consist of regionally limited projects in which the maintenance contractor is responsible for the year-round maintenance of the roads belonging to the area. The contracts are usually awarded for a period of 5–7 years. Maintenance work is performed in accordance with the quality criteria set by the Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment. As the provider of maintenance services, Destia is responsible for the implementation of 57 area-wide maintenance contracts.
