In preparation for potential wartime conditions, the Finnish Defence Forces have arranged with major construction companies to immediately stop civilian construction projects if a state of emergency is declared, redirecting labor and materials to build defensive fortifications such as trenches and dugouts. This system divides the country into contractor-managed areas, and the approach is currently being tested in the BASE26 military exercise at the Huovinrinne training area in Säkylä, Satakunta region. According to NCC site manager Jari Piili, preparations to transition would take one to two months to complete civilian works and protect sites from damage before military construction can start rapidly. The new system involves professional civilian builders performing wartime construction rather than reservists, representing an advance in readiness. The construction industry's trade union helped develop the scheme which is not expected to be financially lucrative but prioritizes national defense readiness. This represents a comprehensive civil-military integration in construction resources aiming for rapid defense infrastructure buildup in crisis scenarios.
