Atlas Copco: Clearing The Way For A Luxury Hotel

摘要

Based on Atlas Copco and Brokk technology, two famous mills of the Saltsjoqvarn area of Stockholm, the Red Mill (1889) and the Semolina Mill (1920), are being converted into luxury apartments and a prestigious hotel. The project demanded that the building shells remain unaltered due to their historical value. Commencing in June 2007, the Rivners AB company accepted the challenge to gut the mills completely- and carefully. Section by section, the roof parts were lifted down by a crane with a lifting capacity of 14 tonnes. Once the roof had been carried away, the floors were tackled next. Huge beams were hewn away while supporting concrete beams had to be lifted down from about 20m.
