Scandinavian Infrastructure:
The West Link: One of Scandinavia’s most technically challenging projects is now underway in Gothenburg. The west link will be an 8KM double track railway, 6km beneath the city. The cost of the project is estimated at 14.5 billion SEK, making it one of the largest in the region. The underground geological conditions vary greatly between sections; 2km of tunnels will run through clay and the remaining 4km through rock. The rock excavation will take place via drill and blast and the clay will be excavated via cut and cover.
