The rowboat became the hero when VA was called in to help with a streetcar project in Hisingen
Gothenburg is growing by leaps and bounds. With the goal of connecting the city with Hisingen, Mark & Energibyggarna will begin work next week on building a tram line between Frihamnen and Lindholmen. The area where we set up our construction trailers turned out to be 250 meters from the nearest water and sewer connection. Life jackets on, and we’re all set.
There’s something special about a challenge, and the way our installation team in Gothenburg not only relies on their experience from having laid cables under Lundbyleden before, but also just gets the job done.
“Nothing is impossible, and construction trailers need their water and sewer connections. While the Mark&Energi builders were on a well-deserved vacation, we moved their trailers from Masthuggskajen to Kvillepiren—lock, stock, and barrel. Now the water and sewer connections are in place as well, and we’d like to thank them for their trust,” says Andreas Karlsson, electrical installation manager at Renta Göteborg.
Frihamnen–Lindholmen Tram Line
By 2035, the population of Gothenburg, Mölndal, and Partille is expected to be 200,000 higher than it is today, and an additional 100,000 people are projected to be working in the area. To ensure that public transportation doesn’t become overwhelmed as the city grows, the municipalities and the Västra Götaland Region have jointly developed a vision for the urban transit backbone network. The creation of an inner-city loop for trams will relieve traffic congestion in central Gothenburg and make many trips faster and smoother.
