City tunnel in Malmö SWEDEN

The City tunnel project in Malmö, Sweden, consists of 17 km of new railway, where 6 km are in tunnel under central Malmö. The project will connect Malmö City to the National Swedish railway system and the Øresund Bridge and Denmark. In the entrance area of the tunnel, a big area was to be filled with 1 meter of gravel plus traffic load was to be expected. An existing sewer system had to be protected

by the use of light weight filling. A filling of up to 2,5 meter with Leca® was then used to establish the necessary safety against sewer collapse. Contractor was Aarsleff Bygg- och Anläggnings AB in Limhamn, Sweden. Approximately 2000 m3 Leca® 10–20 mm was delivered, in 2004, from the Hinge plant in Denmark.
