| Skanska’s contract for tunnel through Hallandsås increased The Skanska-led consortium Skanska-Vinci HB's contract to construct the dual-track railway tunnel through Hallandsås has been increased. Skanska's share of the increased contract amounts to SEK 600 M, which is included in order bookings for the fourth quarter. The customer is Banverket (Swedish Railway Administration). The increased contract arose due to the complicated rock structure at Hallandsås, which could not be foreseen. As a result, tunnel drilling equipment is wearing more than anticipated, while progress is taking longer. Approximately 57 percent of the main tunnel is now constructed and Skanska-Vinci's portion of the work is expected to be completed in 2014. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
