Demolition and reconstruction of the old oil port
In Värtahamnen, a new quay has been developed from the old oil harbor that had been in place since the late 1800s. The project involved demolishing the old oil harbor and renovating and reconstructing the quay. The work has been complex as the old quay needed to be temporarily unloaded for the demolition and foundation work of the new quay. Simultaneously, new sheet piling and piles have been installed along the new quay, and temporary sheet piling supports have been put in place to support the area during the demolition process.
Work under water
The work on the new quay has been conducted both on land and at sea. Due to the harbor's previous use as an oil terminal, cleanup of oil contamination in the ground and water had to be completed before construction could begin. Divers were used not only to check for leaks but also during casting. The location of the site by the sea posed its own challenges, as parts of the work had to be carried out in the water or on floating pontoons. Additionally, ship traffic in the area imposed restrictions, as water-based work could not continue while ships were docking and undocking.
