The Passenger in focus

The aim of the new Metro is to create attractive journeys in an expanding conurbation. In order to meet the needs of the future station environment, it is essential that architects, artists and engineers work closely together.

Station design must help to make journeys feel safe and secure, as well meeting all accessibility requirements. Henrik Rundquist is the head architect for the Stockholm Metro’s Yellow Line:

The reason why we are constructing the metro in a deep location is that there is deep rock below Saltsjön. Gullmarsplan, Nacka Centrum and Sofia stations will have large lifts.

Last spring, we conducted a major review of the project to find smart, effective solutions that would fit our budget. And we succeeded.

The largest part of the expansion of the metro system to Nacka and southbound has now submitted its environmental permit application to the Land and Environmental Court in Nacka.

An environmental permit is necessary to allow for the drainage of groundwater, which is always required when constructing tunnels.

There will be a new Metro line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. In addition, the Roslagen suburban railway will be extended into T-centralen and Tramway South will be constructed.

When combined, this will create over 100,000 new homes in the county.

The station in Hagalund that was announced previously will also be included in the package, which will create a total of 25 new stations and stops.

Both the county council and the City of Solna wish to build an additional metro station on the Yellow Line, in Hagalund’s industrial area.

A decision proposal from the county council’s senior management team has now been tabled. Decisions by the County Council Assembly and the County Council Executive Board are expected during the spring.

At the mouths of the work tunnels we need to move pipes and conduits that are in the way of construction and excavations. Electricity, optoelectronic, and telecom cables and district heating, district cooling, water, gas, sewage and rainwater pipes all need to be moved.

Pipes and cables are often laid in municipal ground, most frequently below roads and streets but also below lawns and other open spaces.

Almost the entire section between the Högdalen depot and the Green Line’s Farsta branch will be laid below ground.

The Högdalen depot will handle all trains from the Hagsätra branch line just as it does today. The depot will be enlarged to meet the need for more staging places for trains when the Metro is extended. Among other things a new garage is to be built below ground.

Construction start is approaching for the new Metro, and this spring we will enter a new phase. Many consultations have been held, and in 2017 we will submit a permit application to the Land and Environment Court and put the rail plans on display for inspection.

It is assumed that the plans will have been approved and the court will have granted the permit during the course of 2018. As soon as the plans have become legally binding, we can begin to build the new Metro.

Around a hundred metres below Stigbergsparken on Södermalm is where the trains will stop at Sofia station. This makes the station one of the deepest in the world – and requires a number of solutions rarely seen in the Stockholm underground.

Everything from graffiti removal to acoustics – the artists working with the design of the new metro stations have a lot to think about. On 5 September, there will be a start-up meeting in preparation for the work, which will last a long time.
