Implenia wins major contract in Sweden
Implenia has been commissioned by the Swedish infrastructure authority Trafikverket to execute a construction phase of the Haga project in Gothenburg. This includes a railway tunnel and an underground station.
Trafikverket has awarded a major contract to Implenia. Specifically, the construction and real estate company based in the Glattpark district of Opfikon is to build a section of the Haga project, including a railroad tunnel and station, for the Swedish Infrastructure Agency. The contract is worth more than CHF 100 million, Implenia announced in a press release.
The Haga project is part of the new West Link connection, which will link Gothenburg’s local transport system to the lines running through the city. Implenia will build the new underground Haga station with platforms and three entrances under the Vasastan district of Gothenburg. There will also be a railroad tunnel with parallel service and emergency tunnels as well as ventilation and fire protection tunnels.
Construction work is scheduled to start in the fall of this year and the project should be completed in 2029. “Implenia will use its many years of extensive experience to implement the project and realize the new important transport infrastructure in logistically challenging, extremely tight inner-city spaces,” said Christian Späth, Head Division Civil Engineering at Implenia, in the press release. “We would like to thank Trafikverket for once again placing its trust in Implenia as an expert in large, complex tunnel and civil engineering projects.”
