Sweco to design new metro in Stockholm

Sweco has been commissioned by the Stockholm County Council to design an 11
-kilometer-long underground metro line from Kungsträdgården to Nacka and
Gullmarsplan in Stockholm. The contract, which will be carried out in joint
venture with Spanish consulting engineering company TYPSA, is valued at
approximately SEK 500-600 million.
”This is one of the largest and most complex assignments in Sweco’s history. The
initiative is a key component in the entire region’s development and will be a
significant improvement to public transport,” says Åsa Bergman, President of
Sweco Sweden.

Sweco will be responsible for planning and designing the new 11-kilometre-long
underground rail line, which will be run in a rock tunnel underneath the
Saltsjön Sea from Kungsträdgården to Nacka and Gullmarsplan. The assignment also
includes the design of five new stations. Sweco will provide a wide range of
expertise in areas spanning architecture and underground construction to rail
technology.

“From a technical perspective, this assignment is one of a kind. It will be the
first metro to run underneath the Saltsjön Sea, with a long rock tunnel and
stations situated very deep underground. The result will be less stress on
Slussen as a hub, stations with a large catchment area in southeast Stockholm,
and an efficient connection to Stockholm Central Station,” says Johan Dozzi,
President of Sweco Civil.

The new metro line is expected to open in 2025.
