The building in Uppsala, Sweden is designed with features including some 3.5m-thick walls to cater for the clinic’s use of proton treatment for advanced radiotherapy.
The project is being conducted under a partnering arrangement between NCC and Akademiska Hus. “The Skandion Clinic is a major project with a precise schedule, which requires a proactive and intense partnership,” said Akademiska Hus project manager Tomas Nilsson. “The partnering project with NCC, where everyone is involved from the start of the process, facilitates the management of the project.”
The building will be about 13,500m2 and will include a treatment facility, clinic, 90-room patient hotel and a restaurant.
Instead of traditional radiotherapy using X-ray radiation or electron radiation, treatments at the Skandion Clinic will use protons. “The technology and equipment being deployed at the clinic requires advanced construction technology and considerable craftsmanship. Our visualisation program, which features the construction documents in 3D, clearly shows the building’s design and construction process. It facilitates the collaboration between all parties,” said Johan Wiberg, construction manager in NCC Construction’s Stockholm/Mälardalen region.
The project will start this month and is scheduled for completion in May 2014
