Fixing Henriksdal Wastewater Plant Pipe Costs More

Stockholm Vatten AB requires an additional SEK 140 million to repair and replace an outlet pipe at the Henriksdal Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing pipe, dating from the 1940s, is damaged and is releasing untreated wastewater near the shoreline at Saltsjökvarn, violating its environmental permit. The increased cost is primarily due to unexpected seepages of lake water during construction, necessitating extra measures to complete the project safely and environmentally responsibly.
