Information about the construction work

Information about construction work week

Should there be changes in the planning, we will publish information about this.

Please respect the demarcation of the work area!

New working hours: weekdays 07.00 - 23.00. The project have a permit to perform weekend work but will only use this if necessary.

An explanation of the different work steps and what type of noise they cause can be found further down. There you also find estimated disturbances in different parts of the School.

Planned work:

Week 43 (21 – 25 October):

• Concrete work in the deep excavation (vaults and walls) (medium disturbance level)
• Concrete work for the shelter (medium disturbance level)
• Casting of concrete inner walls on the basement floor and concrete footings (medium disturbance level)
• Excavation at building E for future connection to building F (medium disturbance level)

Week 44 (28 October – 1 November):

• Concrete work in the deep excavation (vaults and walls) (medium disturbance level)
• Demolition of props (steel pipes) begins at levels 3 and 2. There were four levels of props initially; level 1 at the top and level 4 at the bottom of the excavation (low disturbance level)

Week 45 (4 – 8 November):

• Concrete work in the deep excavation (medium disturbance level)
• Concrete work for walls (medium disturbance level)
• Demolition of props (steel pipes) at levels 3 and 2 (low disturbance level)

Week 46 (11 – 15 November):

• Concrete work in the deep excavation (medium disturbance level)
• Tentative (could be weeks 44-47): Drilling of RD piles adjacent to building E (high disturbance level)
• Tentative: Minor de-establishment of 4 cabins in the courtyard (medium disturbance level)
• Steel assembly in the deep excavation, lift shafts, hanging bridges, etc. (low disturbance level)

Planned works September 2024 – February 2025

The project is progressing towards the ground surface, and by February – March 2025, it is planned to have cast the floor slab one level above the ground surface.

As the casting progresses upwards, Isobetong is filled between the sheet piling and the concrete structure. This is done to transfer the ground pressure to the permanent concrete structure. The props (the round tubes that keep the sheet pile walls apart) hold the pressure until the concrete can replace them. The removal of the props will begin at the end of 2024.

September:

• Concrete casting in the deep excavation
• Backfilling between sheet piling and concrete structure
• Concrete works in the shallow section

October:

• Concrete casting in the deep section
• Concrete castings in the shallow section
• Prefabricated assembly of stairs and floor slabs

November:

• Concrete casting in the deep section
• Concrete castings in the shallow section
• Concrete floor slab at ground level in the deep section

December:

• Concrete casting in the deep section
• Concrete castings in the shallow section
• Removal of beams

January 2025:

• Concrete casting in the deep section
• Concrete castings in the shallow section
• Removal of beams

February 2025:

• Concrete casting in the deep section
• Concrete castings in the shallow section
• Removal of beams
