Between the start of Skanska's rock drilling work early in February 2017 and the middle of March 2018, around 100 rounds were fired. Before the blasting was complete in spring 2018, around 200 blasts were carried out. This corresponds to around 10,000 m3 rock mass. In this strictly controlled building project, there were fixed times for blasting. For each blasting, there were at least ten guards stationed for extra safety. Around 30 vibration meters were positioned around the hospital to monitor the blasting.
The blasting work was required for the construction of new culverts, foundations for two new hospital buildings, and a new ambulance entrance. The renovation work also included existing hospital buildings, such as the rebuilt administrative offices, a new radiography department, new operating theaters, and BB room and maternity unit.
"If we hadn't had a muffled drill rig, we couldn't have carried out the work. That was a condition imposed by Locum and the hospital from the start. Before the project started, we bought an Epiroc FlexiROC T30 R - a medium-size drill rig specifically for this project and suitable for work in tight urban environments."
Facts about the project
St. Göran's Hospital has been extended and modernized to meet the healthcare needs of Stockholm's growing population. Locum AB, property administrator for Stockholm's Regional Council, has concluded a collaboration agreement with Skanska for the construction of two new treatment buildings and the renovation of existing buildings.
