NRC Group Finland received a €16.1m railway maintenance contract from Finnish Transportation Infrastructure Agency (FTIA).

The company will be responsible for the maintenance in the area in Northern Finland from Kokkola and Äänekoski, Kontiomäki and Vartius.

It will perform preventive maintenance and corrective measures on the track lines, which will also include track, signalling and other rail services.
