The company had already worked with the local municipality to plan and design the complex. The total order value is SEK340m (£30.6m).
“We are pleased to be carrying out this project in partnership with NCC, which is a leader in Sweden in the construction of swim and leisure centers,” said Thomas Pennanen, representative of the city of Västerås.
The project is being carried out in a partnering format; NCC and the city of Västerås have jointly produced system documents, the project budget and detail design plans.
The new swimming centre will include a 50m by 25m pool with competition and practice lanes as well as a 25m by 12.5m diving pool with a depth of four meters. The complex will also house a pool for teaching purposes, a children’s pool and a gym. In addition, there will be a cafeteria/restaurant and function rooms.
“NCC has solid experience of this type of partnering project,” said Henrik Landelius, head of NCC Building Sweden. “The swim center project is characterized by a high degree of complexity involving many players and in this context, a partnering model is by far the best way to proceed.”
The new centre is expected to be ready for inauguration in spring 2019.
