The West Link is an eight kilometre long double track railway, including a six kilometre railway tunnel, underneath the city of Gothenburg. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the £2.5 billion development – which also involves the creation of three new underground stations – will increase accessibility to the city, boost capacity and improve travel times.
The construction involves a large amount of tunnelling and concreting, generating considerable volumes of potentially polluting waters. To handle that, Siltbuster systems are being used to treat the waters generated during construction of the West Link project on the Gothenburg Metro in Sweden. This is the latest in a long line of high profile national and international rail projects to call on the Monmouthshire firm’s equipment and expertise.
