SWECO COMMISSIONED FOR REBUILDING OF SLUSSEN


SWECO COMMISSIONED FOR REBUILDING OF SLUSSEN 

Rebuilding of the Slussen area in Stockholm will require new systems for water,
sewerage, energy and ventilation. Sweco has been chosen to study and plan all
new supply systems in the project. 

The Slussen area in Stockholm is a well known but run-down and outdated traffic
and public transport hub that will now be rebuilt from the ground up.
Construction of the new Slussen will be started in 2012 and is scheduled for
completion in 2018. Sweco's responsibilities are to plan and coordinate all
technical supply systems, which will be compiled in a system document. 

“This assignment is a good example of how Sweco's wide-ranging expertise can be
used effectively in major urban development projects. This particular assignment
will be carried out by our experts in energy, water, environment and building
service systems,” says Eva Nygren, President of Sweco Sweden. 

Many technical systems take up a large amount of space and the property around
Slussen is highly attractive, so planning and optimisation of these systems will
be an important part of Sweco's task. Participation at the planning stage also
provides good opportunities to coordinate both existing and new systems.

Sweco's assignment is being carried out on behalf of the Stockholm City
Development Administration. In the first stage, the contract is worth around EUR
260,000.
