Skanska builds tunnel for National Grid pipeline in Northern England for GBP 40M, about SEK 480M


Skanska has, as a part of a joint venture, signed a contract with National Grid
to design and construct a tunnel underneath the river Humber on the east coast
of Northern England for the Humber Tunnel project. The contract value for
Skanska is GBP 40M, about SEK 480M, which will be included in the order bookings
for Skanska UK in the second quarter 2016.
The joint venture with the Austrian construction company PORR and A.Hak from the
Netherlands brings together international expertise to deliver, in an
innovative, sustainable and collaborative way, a five-kilometer tunnel. The
tunnel will protect the pipeline for the long term, helping National Grid to
provide a vital service to millions of people.

The River Humber pipeline is part of the national transmission system –
connecting the import terminal at Easington, on the East Yorkshire coast, to the
wider network and delivering gas to millions of customers throughout the UK.

Skanska UK reported revenues of about SEK 18 billion in 2015. It has around
5,500 employees. The company is active in building and civil construction,
utilities and building services, as well as facilities management and commercial
development.
