NCC to construct forensic psychiatric care facility in Gothenburg for SEK 500
million 

NCC Construction Sweden has been commissioned to construct a new forensic
psychiatric care facility in Olofstorp, 15 kilometers north-east of Gothenburg,
Sweden. The client is Västfastigheter and the order value is slightly more than
SEK 500 million. 

The building comprises premises for emergency care, rehabilitation, activities
and administration. In addition to the buildings, NCC will also design a park
and walking area totaling 16 hectares. 

The 20,000-square-meter care facility comprises three sections with capacity for
96 patients. The modern activity center will offer, for example, training
opportunities and will also house workshops for carpentry, ceramics and crafts.
The assignment also includes a section for administration, research, training
and personnel facilities.

NCC's experience of cost-efficient construction of forensic psychiatric care
facilities, hospitals and prisons was highly significant in the procurement
process.  

“We will use virtual four-dimensional construction, 4D, in our planning from the
beginning and have excellent logistics solutions to facilitate efficient
construction,” says Marcus Bramer, Business Manager at NCC Construction, Region
West. 

Another way by which to maintain the schedule and reduce costs is a high degree
of prefabrication. This means that large portions of the construction will
include prefabricated elements.   

Decontamination of the land will commence immediately and the entire care
facility is scheduled for completion in March 2012. The order registration will
occur in the first quarter of 2010.
