Today, October 10, Region Stockholm presented its budget for the upcoming year. It allocates SEK 50 million over two years for a localization study on a metro line to what is referred to as Bromma Parkstad – the current site of the airport.
For companies considering starting a business in Sweden, there are several factors to consider, including Swedish business culture, the tax system, and legal requirements. Do not hesitate to seek professional advice and stay updated on the latest regulatory changes to ensure your business complies with all requirements. Here are some useful public resources to help you navigate the process and ensure a smooth establishment in Sweden.
Where is more public transportation needed, and is light rail or metro the better choice? The first study on further expansion of rail-based public transportation is now complete. A proposal to continue investigating 12 different routes has been submitted to regional politicians.
At Gullmarsplan, part of the rock had to be frozen in order to finish building the track tunnel. Now that the rock has reached the right temperature, the blasts are in full swing.
On Tuesday 26 September, Region Stockholm’s traffic committee decided that the metro line to Älvsjö will have unattendes train operation – for the first time in Stockholm.
A new tunnel is being built between Hökarängen and Högdalsdepån so that the depot can receive trains from both the Green Line to Farsta and to Hagsätra which in the future will be part of the Blue Line. Join us under ground to see how it goes.
What is a depot? And why does this one need to be expanded? These are just a couple of the questions that are answered in a new video about what is sometimes referred to as “the heart of the metro system”.
For the first time, we now have images showing what the interior of Sofia station will look like, as well as the new areas at Gullmarsplan, the ticket halls in Nacka and the platforms at Slakthusområdet station and Järla station.
There will not be a Yellow Line to Arenastaden, there will be a Green Line instead. However, the yellow colour will not be disappearing from the future metro map. Instead, it will become the colour of the metro line to Älvsjö.
Could there be a need for a metro service to Fagersjö, Tyresö or Bromma Stockholm Airport? These are three of the possible routes that Region Stockholm will now look into.
Three new metro stations and underground tunnels are being built in Nacka. A lot of work takes place underground and behind closed fence. So how is the expansion going?
Machines are many but workers few. Much has been mechanised since the last expansion of the metro. But one thing is the same. The heavy work of pushing in several metre-long bolts to secure the tunnel roof is still done manually. However, deep under Södermalm, experiments are under way to mechanise this procedure.
It’s getting warmer but Mårtensdal awaits freezing temperatures underground. Here an area of fractured rock will be frozen so that new tunnels can be blasted out.
So far, all metros in Stockholm have been built by blasting out the tunnels and sealing them by injecting cement into drilled holes in the rock. However, for the independent line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö, the approach is to use a tunnel boring machine instead.
The end of the year is approaching and everything is about to be summed up. If you look at how many of our procurements that are ready, ongoing and still left to do, it looks like this.
There are lots of things going on at construction sites that can be dangerous. In order to make construction sites safe and secure, the cooperation with the contractor is key.
The new metro is not only new routes and stations. Nothing would work without room to maintain the trains. That is why the metro depot in Högdalen is being expanded – the heart of the new metro circulation.
Each year the attitude towards the metro construction is surveyed among those living or being close to our building sites.
The platform area for Barkarby station is getting ready. Follow us 30 metres underground where the passengers will be waiting for the metro in a few years. Published 23-03-2021 – This is where you will stand and wait to embark on the metro and travel on to Kista or the T-central, or even further, says Peter […]
The government wants to make it easier to use the rubble in an environmentally beneficial way. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is now tasked by the government to investigate how to handle this. – This is an important and positive message for us. I assume that this means that we can handle the rubble as […]
The construction of the new metro to Arenastaden requires close cooperation with Karolinska University Hospital. The blast work will be adapted to the sensitive operation. Published 23-03-2021 From Odenplan the new metro work is constructing tunnels to Arenastaden. This will involve work directly underneath Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institute, where many sensitive operations and […]
Preferably Stockholm granite but never episyenite. That is what the geologists want. Join us as we go down amongst the gneiss, fissure systems, and mountain cracks. Geologists are carefully studying the rock dawning as the tunnels are blasted into being. Their tunnel mappings are important for how the work will proceed.“The tunnels are blasted in […]
Just west of Akalla, two of Stockholm’s major infrastructure projects cross paths with each other. The new metro to Barkarby will be blasted into being five meters under the tunnels for the E4 Bypass Stockholm. The need to adapt to other underground or built-in facilities is common when building in Stockholm. Good dialogue and early […]
Sweden’s longest escalator, latches, tiles, tracks and power lines shall be ordered. Although it will be several years before all tunnels are even completed, the planning work is already in full swing. Construction of the new metro is in full swing. But when the traffic barriers are lifted and the ground has stopped vibrating, the work […]
