AECOM Sweden director Mark Miyaoka said: “This is a complex stretch of rail line with several technically challenging sections.

“Efficient design and sustainability are key focus areas throughout the design process to ensure that we not only help the construction timetable stay on track but also minimise emissions linked to the construction and life cycle of the railway and associated infrastructure.

“AECOM and Trafikverket are adopting a collaborative approach to the project enhancing communication and reducing project risks. Our Stockholm office is closely working with our global team of technical experts to ensure that communities along the route gain reliable, resilient rail infrastructure.”
