In Finland, the terrain and weather conditions are demanding. The terrain varies and can present significant challenges for construction, and, in addition, the Finnish winter is long.
Furthermore, it is best to implement the construction of the barrier fence through multiple, reasonably-sized contracts. Moreover, it is not just a matter of building a road and a fence, as implementing the technical surveillance will also take its time.
Furthermore, before anything else can be done, there are hundreds of property owners within the border zone who must be contacted and served with the decisions in accordance with the Border Guard Act.
Finally, a lot of time must also be reserved for the tendering process in connection to the project. Due to all of these factors, the construction will take several years.
