PÖYRY AWARDED EUR 7.5 MILLION ASSIGNMENT IN RING RAIL LINK PROJECT IN
HELSINKI, FINLAND

The Finnish Rail Administration has made a procurement decision to
order services for detail design of the tunnel part of the Ring Rail
Link to the Helsinki-Vantaa airport from a consortium of consultants
led by Pöyry. The value of the services provided is estimated to
amount to about EUR 10.6 million. Pöyry's share of the services will
amount to EUR 7.5 million. The final contract will be signed when the
public procurement is legally valid approximately in August 2008. The
services will be provided during the period 2008-2012.

The new railway line will connect the existing Martinlaakso line with
the main line via the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. The length of the line
is 18 km, of which about 8 km will be situated in a tunnel under the
airport area. Three to four new underground stations will be
constructed for the line. Together with the Kerava and Leppävaara
urban lines and the Martinlaakso line, it will constitute an
integrated urban railway loop. Trains will run at 10-minute intervals
during peak periods. The shortest travelling time from Helsinki to
the airport will be some 30 minutes.

The order will not be included in Pöyry's order stock as at 30 June
2008 in the Interim Report to be published in July.

Pöyry is a global consulting and engineering firm focusing on the
energy, forest industry and infrastructure & environment sectors.
Pöyry's net sales in 2007 amounted to about EUR 720 million and it
employs 7400 experts.
