The vibration measurements will be carried out in the Aalto University area in Otaniemi on Wednesday 3 May. At the vibration-sensitive sites, the loaded trams will run at normal operating speed, and the measurements will be carried out at selected locations.

During the planning and construction of Jokeri Light Rail, the best possible preparations were made to ensure the smooth operation of properties during the work and to avoid structural breakdown. The purpose of the vibration measurements is to ensure the functioning of the planned solutions and the conditions for smooth operation when the light rail starts operating.
