Another flagship project in our company’s history is the Hallandsås Tunnel, an approximately 8.5-kilometer-long, double-track railway tunnel through the Hallandsås ridge in southern Sweden. The tunnel carries the Västkustbanan rail traffic between Gothenburg and Lund and was commissioned at the end of 2015. Construction began in 1992 but was halted in 1997 due to a serious environmental incident. The project was resumed in 2005 with new technical approaches, including the use of a closed tunnel boring machine. The west tube was breakthrough in 2010, followed by the east tube in 2013. The project also included the construction of new stops in Förslöv, Barkåkra, and Båstad. The Hallandsås Tunnel stands as a symbol of technical perseverance and ecological learning processes, as well as a testament to the long-term quality of our sealing systems under challenging conditions.
