Metro interfaces

Construction near the Stockholm Metro

Work beside stations, above tunnels or near underground technical infrastructure may require early technical assessment and coordination with Trafikförvaltningen.

Assess location and method together

Physical distance is only one part of the project picture. Excavation, drilling, blasting, piling and foundation works may create different interfaces requiring competent project-specific assessment.

Coordinate the information flow

Location data, drawings, methods, technical assessments, programme and revisions should remain aligned throughout design and construction.

Official source: Official Region Stockholm guidance (Swedish)

This is practical, independent guidance for construction projects. Current formal requirements and decisions are set by the relevant infrastructure owner and should be verified against official information.
