Skanska lands third phase of nuclear research facility
Skanska has agreed a contract worth SEK2.5bn (£221m) to build the third and final stage of a major nuclear research facility in Lund, Sweden.
The contract with European Spallation Source (ESS) will be carried out by Skanska Sweden (75%) in cooperation with Skanska UK (25%).
ESS is a pan-European facility that will be used in a number of research areas such as the environment, medicine, food and materials. The plant is a neutron source where researchers from all over the world will be able to study materials to understand how they work and function.
Skanska and ESS signed a cooperation agreement during 2014 for the entire construction project and a design contract for the first stage which included ground works, an accelerator tunnel and a number of adjoining buildings.
