Käppalaverket – rebuilding in a live, critical operation

With solid experience in rebuilding under live operating conditions and deep expertise in wastewater treatment, Jernbro plays a key role in the ongoing modernization of the Käppalaverket facility on Lidingö.

CHALLENGE: Rebuilding without disrupting operations

Käppalaverket, owned by Käppalaförbundet, is being upgraded to reduce emissions of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter into the Baltic Sea, while increasing treatment capacity.

The challenge is to carry out extensive rebuilding work while the facility remains fully operational, without affecting the treatment process.

SOLUTION: Prefabrication and installation with high precision

Jernbro’s team has manufactured and installed four 30-meter pipes in 28-meter-deep drilled shafts in the rock. Prefabrication of pipes, supports and connections was carried out in Jernbro’s workshop based on detailed engineering drawings from Maskinkonsulterna EVT.

Through close coordination with Käppalaverket and other contractors, combined with careful planning and risk analysis, the installation has been executed safely and efficiently despite the demanding environment.
