Orbital light rail line in Helsinki gets premium protected tension clamps

  • The 25 km long light rail line Raide-Jokeri (orbital railway) is currently under construction. In the future, it will link the Finnish cities Helsinki and Espoo and replace the busiest bus connection in the public transport network of the regional transport authority of Helsinki.
  • The line is being equipped with W 14 and W 21 systems including Skl 14 or Skl 21 tension clamps with the new premium coating. So far, nearly 288,500 Skl 14 and approx. 4,000 Skl 21 tension clamps have been supplied. The project was closed successfully in 2021.
