Skanska to construct detention centers at Kumla, Hall and Saltvik valued at SEK 420 M Skanska has been contracted to extend the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's facilities at Kumla, Hall and Saltvik in Härnösand, Sweden. The contract is valued at approximately SEK 420 M, of which SEK 290 M will be included in order bookings for the third quarter of 2007 and SEK 130 M in the fourth quarter.
