NCC to construct radiotherapy clinic in Uppsala for SEK 470 million

NCC Construction Sweden will construct the Nordic region's first clinic
for advanced radiotherapy using proton treatment in Uppsala, Sweden. The
customer is Akademiska Hus and the construction contract is valued at
SEK 470 million. The project is being conducted as a partnership between
NCC and Akademiska Hus.

The building will be about 13,500 square meters and will comprise such
sections as a treatment facility, clinic, patient hotel with about 90
rooms and a restaurant.

“The technology and equipment being deployed at the clinic requires
advanced construction technology and considerable craftsmanship. Our
visualization program, which features the construction documents in 3D,
clearly shows the building's design and construction process. It
facilitates the collaboration between all parties,” says Johan Wiberg,
Construction Manager at NCC Construction, Stockholm/Mälardalen Region.

The Skandion Clinic is the first of its kind in the Nordic region.
Instead of traditional radiotherapy using X-ray radiation or electron
radiation, treatments at the Skandion Clinic will use protons. The
building is custom designed for the clinic's operation, with features
including 3.5-meter thick walls in the treatment ward.

The project is being conducted under a cooperative contract known as
partnering at NCC. This is a structured collaboration format in which
the developer, consultants and contractors collectively solve the
construction assignment. The method is based on an open and trusting
collaboration where the partners' professional skills complement each
other through all the phases of the project.

“The Skandion Clinic is a major project with a precise schedule, which
requires a proactive and intense partnership. The partnering project
with NCC, where everyone is involved from the start of the process,
facilitates the management of the project,” says Tomas Nilsson, Project
Manager at Akademiska Hus.

The project will commence in June 2011 and is scheduled for completion
in May 2014. It will create employment for about 75 people. The order
will be registered during the second quarter of 2011.
