Our Services

Management, Investment Analysis, Forecasting, Optimisation and Strategy Studies.

If you want to preserve your valuable assets by preventive maintenance, SirWay offers Asset Management services including Infrastructure Asset Management Systems such as Road Management Systems (RMS), Bridge Management Systems (BMS), maintenance planning and support functions.

If you want to know the environmental and socio-economic impacts of your road investments we have a Cloud-based survey and reporting tool. You can use your tablet and get the data safe easily without tedious writing on the questionnaires and typing the answers in a spreadsheet.

If you want to know the most lucrative investing option, SirWay offers pre- and post-investment analysis based on fesibility studies and Net Present Value (NPV) optimisation. Alternatively, analyses can be done by EIRR, ROI or B/C.

If your existing analyses are missing future vision, SirWay offers forecasting services based both on qualitative and quantitative techniques such as linear and non-linear regression methods based on artificial neural networks, support vector machines and markov chains. Financial forecasting is recommended with investment decision-making.

If you have too many options to invest in, SirWay offers investment optimisation to maximise the NPV of the portfolio. Often these combinatorial optimisation problems require methods such as swarm intelligence or genetic algorithms.

If you want to develop your road network in Papua New Guinea, SirWay also offers road maintenance and construction according to international standards.

If you want to keep on the right track, SirWay offers strategy studies in the transport sector. For example, Public Private Partnership (PPP) financing has increased in the past years and raised interest in new countries and sectors. PPP is an interesting option, but it is also difficult since financial analyses and comparisons have to be made. PPP also affects the project pipeline and procurement since design and maintenance are often included in the contract. SirWay can help you to find the right track.

New websites launched aimed to the municipality sector

SirWay Ltd. has started working with Finnish municipalities to develop Road Asset Management Systems for municipal use. The first pilot project is ongoing with Lempaala and 4 other municipalities have ordered.

SirWay Ltd. has started working with Finnish municipalities to develop Road Asset Management Systems for municipal use. The first pilot project is ongoing with Lempäälä and 4 other municipalities have ordered.

Current challenges include lack of Road Asset Management System, up-to-date data from the road network and lack of systematic maintenance planning processes.

In the near future Sirway is looking to expand these services to European municipalities as well. More information can be found on the new website: solidStreet.eu and in Finnish on paraskatu.fi.


New Road Asset Management System to St. Lucia

SirWay Ltd. signed a contract with the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour for development of GIS-based Road Maintenance Management System in St. Lucia.

Current challenges include lack of Road Asset Management System, up-to-date data from the road network and lack of systematic maintenance planning processes.

In the coming 6 years, SirWay Ltd. will develop together with the Ministry Road Asset Management processes and Cloud-based Road Asset Management System. The project includes extensive capacity building and data collection.


SirWay was actively involved in World Road Meeting 2017 in Delhi, India

SirWay presented Cloud-based Road Asset Management System, which saves costs and time for the Road Agencies. The good thing with our Cloud-based system is that all the required software including maintenance planning is integrated in one system and all the road data and reports are accessible by mobile devices. And most importantly, data is safe and accessible by all the involved parties.

SirWay recognises the importance of the new Belt and Road Transport Alliance (BRITA) initiative by China Highway and Transportation Society (CHTS) and therefore SirWay joins BRITA.

Ministers Anne Berner, Ismir Jusko, Nitin Gadkari and Marc Garneau were praising the Goddess of Wisdom for better roads. Open data sharing and road asset optimisation should be key targets for all countries, not just Finland, as Mrs. Berner pointed out. This is also the focus of SirWay.


Konsta Mikael Sirvio had a Doctoral Defence

Dr. Konsta Mikael Sirvio defended his Doctoral Thesis "Advances in predictive maintenance planning of roads by empirical models" successfully. Professor Juho Rousu (in the middle) acted as the Custos. Professor Juha Röning (on the right) and Doctor Cesar Queiroz (second from the right) acted as opponents. The instructor of the Thesis was Dr. Jaakko Hollmén (on the left).

Tough questions covered applicability of empirical models beyond flexible pavements and in new situations with autonomous vehicles as well as methodological aspects such as Genetic Algorithms.


Tablet-based Survey, Analysis and Reporting Tool Deployed in Papua New Guinea

We are happy to share with you that we've just come back from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea where we successfully deployed a new version of our all-in-one tablet-based survey + data analysis + reporting tool. This project was carried out to help collect the necessary information pertaining to a socio-economic impact study conducted for the road administration.

These types of surveys are vital in establishing long-term effects of a given road project and have a long history of being carried out manually, involving a tedious process of creating survey documents, printing out and carrying hundreds of copies, manully marking them in the field and spending many weeks to digitise the input and only then analyse the data. We believe this approach to be vastly inefficient, which is why we decided to invest our energy in creating our own IT system for handling the whole pipeline.

Our complete workflow has been streamlined to look the following way:

  1. A survey is created/an existing survey is modified

  2. A team of researchers armed with tablets is dispatched to the field

  3. The tablets are used to collect the data

  4. All the collected data is synced seamlessly and automatically with the server

  5. The server crunches the data and automatically produces/updates a report whenever new data arrives

  6. The team back at the office can observe the changes LIVE on their device and ask clarifying questions if necessary

  7. As soon as the latest submission takes place, we have a full report

This approach cuts down on many weeks of unnecessary busy work handling paper, making corrections (our system will reject any incorrectly entered data, so there's no need for any manual checks), data entry and chasing human errors. Additionally, the automated nature of the analysis allows us to dive deeper into immediately apparent issues right there, on the spot, which is something that simply wasn't possible before.

So, in summary, we have a tool that streamlines the whole pipeline, keeps us updated on a per-minute basis and, as a bonus, makes our research team in the field use cutting-edge technology and look "out of this world" (yes, that's verbatim) to the local population.

We are proud to have achieved these results and are happy to make our system available to anybody (it could be you!) who has a need for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roads are the most valuable assets of most of the countries, but proper maintenance seems to be problematic. Politicians may not allocate sufficient funding, data collection on the roads is messy and costly, information systems are difficult to use etc. Road Asset Management Platform is a new standard for web-based Road Asset Management Systems (RAMS) that allows international benchmaring and learning from the best practices. With Road Asset Management Platform it is possible to start preventive or predictive maintenance planning immediately in an easy way.
With the Cloud implementation you will get easy updates, your data will be safe, you can control accessibility of the data and you will get competitive pricing.
First, the roads inventory needs to be created, condition and traffic assessed using SirWay Road Asset Platform. Then, a strategy analysis has to be created and the optimal annual budget compared with the current one. Funding constraints may be one reason, but wrong priorities or wrong maintenance works may also cause the problem.
Traditional Pavement Management Systems and Road Asset Management Systems are difficult to use and host. They may also require very specific formats how the data should be prepared before it can be imported into the system. Data collection equipment may also lack user-friendliness and over time the trained personnel quit for better-paid jobs. SirWay Road Asset Management Platform is intuitive, modern and user-friendly. There is no need for special IT skills or expensive server hardware when SirWay provides the hosting for you. With extensive training, use and demonstrated benefits, you do not want to do the planning work without one.
SirWay provides a Cloud-based software tool and questionnaires that you can use with mobile devices in the field. The system will automatically produce reports from the answers.
