Länsimetro Oy’s CEO outlined for the Board the construction project’s measures for combatting the grey economy. Already at the procurement phase, open tendering prevents the forming of grey economy. At the construction phase, Länsimetro requires contractors to take care of their employees’ statutory insurance and to also comply with other laws, regulations and collective labour agreements that apply to employees. Länsimetro monitors contractors’ documents in accordance with the Act on the Contractor’s Obligations through a service offered by an external partner. Additionally, the West Metro project monitors employees’ induction, access permits and ID cards through weekly contractor evaluations, third-party evaluations and with spot checks if necessary. Other measures by the main contractor include the induction of all of the employees arriving at the worksite. Their tax numbers are also checked from the tax authority’s portal. Länsimetro co-operates with the Tax Administration and Regional State Administrative Agency through regular meetings.
Länsimetro Oy’s CFO presented the cost monitoring for the Matinkylä-Kivenlahti section and a market outlook for the construction industry. Construction is progressing in line with the project plan’s budget.
