One of the pioneers in the field is WSP Finland which has a proven track record in multidisciplinary design. T erhi Tikkanen-Lindström, Business Area Manager for Environment and Architecture, comments that Climate Change is one of the driving forces behind the trend. “Sustainable development together with urban and technical design challenges simply call for multidisciplinary approach,” she says. WSP Finland’s Environment and Architecture can bring a lot of expertise to the table, offering services which range from landscape and building design to land use plans, and from technical surveys to impact assessment. Together with the other eight business areas the range of services becomes significantly wider. Tikkanen-Lindström admits that the company has a certain green mindset and design teams are always looking for new ways to promote environmental solutions. “Working with urban projects, we are able to utilise many tools of the multidisciplinary planning, such as energyefficient buildings and communities, greener traffic arrangements, rainwater treatment and 40 Nordicum consumer habits. Our latest area considering these aspects is construction management,” she sums up. Fast Track Execution Sometimes the WSP professionals also need to think on their feet, as the latest city centre project demonstrates. NCC is realising a multifunctional arena in heart of Tampere using an ambitious deck construction. Built on top of a railway network, the ultra-modern complex features also retail and residential construction as well as offices and hotels. WSP Finland was approached in May 2010 by Tampere city officials and NCC who had an urgent zoning assignment in their hands. The project was providing plenty of obstacles that would be best overcome via multidisciplinary thinking. “The schedule was a killer, but we could hardly say no – the project was just so exciting,” Tikkanen-Lindström looks back. Planners at WSP rolled up their sleeves and got to work, producing the draft for the zoning plan at the end of October. “In many ways, we had to start from scratch, but we had sufficient capacity and flexibility to pull it off,” says Project Manager Petri Saarikoski. Also crucial was the staunch resolve of the partners, NCC and the City of Tampere – everybody wanted the project to get a great start. Multilevel zoning plan documents in themselves have called for innovative solutions and central location has brought a remarkable amount of stakeholders into the process. Saarikoski notes that t B
