Wastewater tunnels

The planned wastewater tunnel from Turbinen in central Malmö to Sjölunda wastewater treatment plant is an approximately 5.5 kilometre main tunnel and two connecting micro-tunnels totalling approximately 2.4 kilometres. The wastewater tunnel will be drilled at a depth of 25-30 metres. This is so that wastewater will be transported by gravity to the wastewater treatment plant, where a large new pumping station will pump the wastewater from a depth of 35 metres up to the treatment plant.

Currently, the planned tunnel reaches between the Källby wastewater treatment plant and the Sjölunda wastewater treatment plant, covering a distance of approximately 10 kilometers. The wastewater tunnel will be drilled at a depth of 25-30 metres. This is so that wastewater will be transported by gravity to the wastewater treatment plant, where a large new pumping station will pump the wastewater from a depth of 35 metres up to the treatment plant.
