AFRY has the main contract with Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) and Kreera is their subcontractor in the Maland project (outside the town of Sundsvall). Trafikverket plans to build a new double-track railway connection between the Tunadal track and the Ådal railway line, plus modernizing the Tunadal track. The new rail connection will make it possible to move freight away from roads to rail, leading to major environmental benefits and growth in the Sundsvall region.
AFRY's assignment is to design the meeting track triangle at Maland and the upgrading of the Tunadals track, including railway plans, system documents as well as construction documents.
“The project is divided into three parts, and we are now starting the detail design of the first part which is about upgrading and construction of a new rail meeting track in Birsta,” says Tobias Johansson. He is a road and terrain engineer at AFRY Infrastructure AB, and is in charge of the public roads in the project.
