Sirway Ltd Member

The motto of the company is "Sirway before you pave", which encapsulates the idea of Sirway's existence. Investment decisions should be preceded by relevant data collection, analyses and comparison of options to get the highest return in the most sustainable way. Systematic decision-making can be complex and time consuming, but potential gains of tens of millions of USD makes it worth the trouble. Since the company's registration in Finland in 2002, Sirway has been involved in over 40 projects in 20 countries from 5 continents assisting the Clients to improve decision-making including data collection, management, planning leading to improved road asset condition. Nowadays, the company is also registered in Tanzania and Saint Lucia.

The mission of Sirway is to make data-driven decision-making easy and profitable. The majority of the projects supporting Sirway's mission have been conducted in the road sector and more specifically in establishment of Road Asset Management Systems (RAMS). Sirway has implemented RAMS in Angola, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Kyrgyzstan, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and Saint Lucia. Typically, the projects have been funded by the World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB) or European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), but Sirway has also undertaken projects with governmental and private funding.

The scope of RAMS projects varies, but Sirway has been part of all the major phases including technology and service procurement, data collection and validation, system requirement analysis and design, system implementation and integration (road management system, bridge management system, road asset database, traffic and accident information system, pavement management system, geographic information system etc.), road inventory and pavement distress inventory, maintenance planning, business process mapping and change management, institutional strengthening with on-the-job training.

Besides RAMS projects, Sirway has conducted comprehensive studies on transport sector Public Private Partnership (PPP) models and projects, development and implementation of Cloud-based socio-economic surveys for road investments, strategic studies in the infrastructure, transport and energy sectors, implementation of Cloud-based investment decision-making for oil retail, monitoring and evaluation of data collection and investment programmes.

The vision of Sirway is to join road network owners and managers in the global RAMS platform based on Sirway's RAMS solution. The platform is unique since it offers an integrated software for road data management, reporting, visualisation (GIS, graphs) and maintenance planning accessible from anywhere with Internet connection and by any modern device and Operating System. A unique feature of the platform is gradual integration of major data collection technology eradicating thus error-prone and time-consuming manual operations. The data comes then automatically from the survey devices in the field to the road asset database. The more network managers join the platform, the more they can benefit from the network effects including KPI benchmarking, benefiting from the best international practices, improved maintenance unit cost and traffic growth estimation and improved use of data-based empirical models in maintenance planning. All this contribute to improved road condition and increased sustainability for the generations to come.

Overall, the unique selling point of Sirway is that we make new technology, data and systems easy and accessible for high return on investments.
