Information about the construction work
On this page we share information from Akademiska Hus and Serneke about the construction work in the near future. New information comes every four weeks and if needed more often.
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 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
Estimated degree of disturbance in different parts of the school.
Green = low
Yellow = medium
Red = high
Explanation of technical terms and level of disturbance:
Excavation work
Involves excavation and removal of soil and clay (normal machine noise, beating sound when clay is shaken from the scoop).
Medium level of noise
