Project New Sjölunda's organisation
Now that the procurement of the large and important collaboration contract is completed, the Nya Sjölunda project continue to work with two parts – a production preparation part and a technical part. The goal is to prepare, where possible, to optimize the start-up of the joint venture.
With the goal of a new Sjölunda wastewater treatment plant being completed by 2035, the project is working for a quick start when the main contractor for the joint venture is in place. This involves production preparations such as developing a time plan, analysing buildability and planning the construction phase, but also technical parts such as design, design preparations as well as requirements and scope work. In addition, work is underway on routines for the work environment and environment, as well as supporting documents for the ongoing permit process with the goal of obtaining a new environmental permit in 2027.
Project management
A organisation has been established, and the project's strategy and implementation roadmap are taking shape. In May 2025, Kristina Olofsson joined as project manager, and Magnus Jakobsson transitioned to the role as production manager for the project.

Sub-project managers drive the preparations work
In the feasibility study for the New Sjölunda project, 15 sub-projects have been identified, to be further developed and confirmed with the coming main contractor. A number of sub-project managers in the client organisation are already working on preparations for selected parts of the facility. Some parts of the facility are critical for various reasons and need to start early in the contract, now being designed to the system document level.
