Sweco wins contract from Swedish Rail Administration

The Swedish Road Administration and the Swedish Rail Administration are carrying
out a joint project to build a double-track railway and four-lane highway
between Gothenburg and Trollhättan in western Sweden. Sweco has been awarded a
contract worth EUR 1.2 million to perform detail planning on parts of the new
railway alignment. 

Sweco has been commissioned to prepare construction documents for the railway
section between Agnesberg and Marieholm, which among other things contains new
railway bridges over the E45 European Highway and the Lärjeån River. The
geotechnical conditions in the area are such that extensive soil reinforcement
will be necessary along much of the alignment.

”Another challenge for Sweco's consultants is that work must be carried out with
a minimum of impact on traffic, since the new railway will be laid very close to
the existing tracks,” says Lars Almqvist, Regional Manager at Sweco in
Gothenburg. 

Sweco has previously been hired to deliver construction documents for extension
of double-track railway on the sections between Trollhättan and Velanda and
between Marieholm and Olskroken. Sweco is also preparing work plans and
construction documents for expansion of the E45 European Highway.
