Aarsleff wins Stockholm deal
Per Aarsleff has entered into an agreement with City of Stockholm, Exploitation Office and Ports of Stockholm for the construction of new harbour structures in the Värtahamnen area, which is part of the Port of Stockholm.
The contract has a value of approximately DKK 1 billion and is to be carried out over the next four years. The project is carried out to make land available for urban development in the Swedish capital. The new Värtahamnen harbour is to be established in the existing harbour basin and provide updated facilities for the ferry operations from Stockholm and to the countries around the Baltic Sea.
When ferry operations have moved to the five new quay berths, the old harbour area will be developed into a new urban area with office facilities, shops and residential units. The project primarily consists of construction of a bridge deck on pile foundations. The plan is to produce the precast concrete units for the bridge deck at Aarsleff’s facilities in Swinoujscie in Poland. Aarsleff has chosen Cowi to carry out the design work. It is the company’s intention to work with E Pihl & Soen on the implementation of the project.
