Peab builds a new port in Arendal in Gothenburg
Peab has been commissioned to build a new port terminal in Arendal in Gothenburg. The customer is Göteborgs Hamn AB and the contract is worth SEK 237 million.The project entails dredging up and handling around 250,000 m2 polluted dredged material from existing shipping lanes in the Port of Gothenburg. The material will then become landfill and make up the foundation of an entirely new terminal area of 22 hectares (54.34 acres). This is the equivalent of around 30 football fields. Through technology developed by Peab (ProSol) the contaminations will be encapsulated in granulated slag and
