Veidekke has signed an agreement with Syvab for comprehensive renovation and
extensions to the Himmerfjärdsverket wastewater treatment plant in Grödinge,
Sweden. The project has a potential order value of at least SEK 700 million, and
work is planned to continue until 2025.
"The renovation and extensions to Himmerfjärdsverket have long been under
planning. As we are now finally ready to start implementation, we are very
pleased and confident in the knowledge that we have Veidekke Entreprenad AB's
entire competence on hand in doing the job. This bodes well for a very good
result," says Carl-Olof Zetterman, CEO of Syvab.
"We are extremely pleased to have won Syvab's confidence to assist in the
development of Himmerfjärdsverket. The project is in line with our strategy of
selectivity with regards to customers, and we are able to start collaboration at
an early phase, as is our preference. The project is also well aligned with
Veidekke's values, which ultimately are about creating added value by working in
close interaction with customers and suppliers," says Marcus Andersson, regional
director of Veidekke Anläggning Öst in Sweden.
The renovation of the Himmerfjärdsverket treatment plant is a necessary
consequence of population increases and new water treatment requirements. A new
membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant will increase capacity, while retaining energy
consumption at current levels and reducing the use of added chemicals.
The project comprises an execution contract for the renovation of the existing
plants, and a design and build contract for the extensions. The first of two
phases includes the assessment and planning for system documents, to which
Veidekke will provide production solutions and specific technical consultations.
This phase also includes calculation of target costs for the total project. Once
target costs have been calculated, the project enters phase 2, with planning and
production. The order value for phase 1 is estimated to be approx. SEK 10
million, and an agreement for phase 2 is scheduled to be signed during the first
quarter of 2020.
Activities in 2019 will primarily comprise the first phase, including the
completion of system documents and calculations for the new plant. Construction
starts will take place on an ongoing basis through 2020, and according to plans,
the new Himmerfjärdsverket will be ready for operation in 2025.
