NCC to construct part of subway depot for SL for slightly more than SEK 1 billion
NCC has been commissioned to construct the maintenance plant at SL’s new subway depot in Norsborg, Stockholm, for SL’s new subway trains. The client is SL and the contract will take the form of a construction partnership. The order value is SEK 1,021 million and the order will be registered in the second quarter of 2013.
The new subway depot is scheduled for completion in autumn 2016 and is part of SL’s three-stage package to improve and increase the frequency of subway services on the Red Line. The upgrade comprises new subway trains, a new signal system and a new state-of-the-art depot.
The new depot will be constructed inside SL’s track area, adjacent to the Norsborg subway station.
“Together with SL, we will contribute to providing improved public transport services to Stockholm and the people of Stockholm, which is of vital importance to future social development in Stockholm,” says Carina Angarth, Head of Department, Civil Engineering Stockholm, NCC Construction Sweden.
The new depot is being built within SL’s track area close to the Norsborg subway station. The project comprises a maintenance depot for the subway system with maintenance space and offices at ground level and a washing facility for the train underground, as well as the construction of tracks, electricity, signal systems and telecommunications at both ground level and underground.
The earthworks are scheduled to start in June 2013, leading up to construction of the actual concrete tunnel in 2013.
The new depot is needed because SL is investing in new and longer subway trains, which will require facilities for maintenance, service and washing. The new depot will also enable SL to keep the carriages at Norsborg, where they will be at the end of the line when daily services start. At present, empty trains are driven from Nyboda (Liljeholmen) to the ends of each line.
The project will be registered among orders in the NCC Construction Sweden business area.
