Grontmij to design expansion of Värta Pier in Stockholm
Stockholms Hamnar (Ports of Stockholm) is developing a new port for Stockholm in the Vä rtahamnen and Frihamnen harbours which will include a comprehensive expansion of the Vä rta Pier. Grontmij, part of the Carl Bro Group, has been made responsible for the planning and design of the pier.
‘Expertise and pricing were crucial when we were assessing tenders. Grontmij won the assignment based on the company’s expertise and its competitive bid’, said Per Ling-Vannerus, project manager at Stockholms Hamnar. Värtahamnen harbour will be expanded to modernise and streamline harbour activities. At the same time, land will be freed up to allow continued urban development next to the harbour area.
Grontmij’s role relates to design documents and the production of planning and construction documents required for the land based facilities, their infrastructure and building service systems. In total, six technical areas are covered: foundations, structural engineering, infrastructure and building service systems, as well as water and sanitation and building automation systems. In total, the assignment will engage around 50 consultants from Grontmij and has a value of some €3.4m.
