Short stops on E4 when water is to be delivered

2024-05-13

MittSverige Vatten & Avfall and Peab are in full swing with phase one of the major project to expand the water supply network from Bergeforsen, via Midlanda to Torsboda and Söråker.

Torsboda Industrial Park is supplied with water and this increases the capacity of the public water and sewage system for municipal water and sewage, which provides the conditions for construction at Midlanda and more housing in Söråker.

MittSverige Vatten & Avfalls Kent Johansson and Marcus Åkerlund tell in the movie about:

that they prepare for water, sewage and industrial water.
they are currently unloading explosives after blasting.
the pipes are laid at a depth of between two and two and a half meters to prevent them from freezing.
that waste water will flow in pipes with self-draining.
that drinking water goes in two hundred millimeter pipes.
industrial water is taken from the river in five hundred and sixty millimeter pipes.
that the E4 will be closed for short stops continuously over the coming weeks when blasting takes place.
that consideration and permission was required for many things before they put the bucket in the ground - for example, safety, environment and landowner permission.
that the stage from Hässjövägen up to about 120 meters below Rigstavägen is expected to be completed by the autumn.

In the video, you can see machines and vehicles moving rocks, blasting material. The images also show pipes of different dimensions and areas being prepared for blasting.

Two good places for potential entrepreneurs to consider

Together with the municipalities of Sundsvall and Timrå, Torsboda Industrial Park has presented two land areas as possible for Kaunas Metal's establishment of their first steelworks outside Lithuania. The areas now competing with Umeå are located next to the Delta terminal in Söråker and by the E14 in Töva.

Untying the knots - shared responsibility for the green transition

On Wednesday, the government's industrial coordinator Kristina Alvendal visited us and we talked about our investment in Torsboda and raised important issues. Together with her colleagues at the newly launched acceleration office, she is working to identify knots that slow down the green transition and to propose measures to solve them.

Felling at Torsboda Nord has now started

To make the land on the north side of the E4 ready for sale, Torsboda Industrial Park is now felling forest at Torsboda Nord.

Bail - security for both parties

Torsboda Industrial Park has applied for a guarantee from its owners, Timrå and Sundsvall municipalities, as part of the realization of the first establishment at the industrial park.

Present and past near the industrial park

Västernorrland Museum is inventorying the buildings closest to the area where the industrial park in Torsboda is being developed. The result will be a publication describing how the villages of Brännan and Gryttjom look today and how the area has changed historically.
