More than a hundred years ago we were the cradle where new technologies were nurtured, the dynamite, effective machinery and production methods. Despite our relative small country we are still leading the way, building one of the most complex underground road tunnel networks, the Bypass Stockholm. A new metro with one of the deepest underground stations only accessible by elevators. And large rock caverns to store liquid hydrogen with the purpose to produce fossil free steel.
In Sweden, we have long been using sophisticated engineering techniques to build underground structures, thereby making efficient use of the resource beneath our feet. See examples below. In the book ”Sweden Underground” you can find more than 30 case descriptions plus a broad overview of our world-leading expertise in underground construction and rock engineering.

The Stockholm metro system is being upgraded, and one of the projects involves the construction of a new depot for trains at Norsborg. Limited space above ground lay behind the…
The Arlanda Express connects central Stockholm with Arlanda Airport, Sweden’s busiest airport. High-speed trains, travelling at 200 km/h, cover the 40-km distance in just 20 minutes. The project involved the…
The railway system in the Gothenburg region has reached maximum capacity. Delays and disruptions are common, and the central station is a terminus, which causes a bottleneck. The capacity for…
