Infratunnel pipes and cables in new residential area

摘要

An almost two-kilometre long infratunnel with an internal diameter of 2.2 metres will house all of the piping needed for the infrastructure of a new city district being added to the southern Swedish city of Linkoping. Excavations in the streets and residential areas will soon be history, since all maintenance and installation work will be achievable within the infratunnel. Almost two kilometres long and 2.2 metres in internal diameter, the Weholite infratunnel was installed in the Vallastaden district of Linkoping during the summer of 2014. Vallastaden is the site of a modern, ecologically sustainable city district, now under construction and intended to house around 10,000 residents. A housing fair area will also be built on the site.
