Together – for peace of mind progress
We who work with the MAXIMA wastewater treatment system are organised in a programme form within VA SYD, which creates the conditions required for an infrastructure investment of this size to be able to deliver the right quality at the right time.
The programme organisation's mission is to contribute to fulfilling VA SYD's operational goals, by delivering four societal benefits, keeping the VA collective's costs down and creating a sustainable regional solution for wastewater treatment.
The programme organisation works according to a shared programme plan, in the form of an operations system with clear plans, strategies and routines aiming to create a common way of working. With the support of the operations system, the programme organisation can follow the basic plan for time, budget and quality. Ongoing follow-ups, risk analyses and action plans according to a defined structure, create security and ensure the right course forward.
Programme management
The programme management team consists of the programme sponsor, programme director, scope and coordination manager, contract manager, controller, project managers, and those responsible for management and technical support. The programme sponsor reports to the municipalities via both politicians and civil servants. The programme director manages the projects, while the heads of management and technical support leads their respective support functions. The scope and coordination manager works to assure the quality of a future handover from the programme organisation to VA SYD’s line organisation. The programme director and the scope and coordination manager report to the programme sponsor.
Projects and support functions
The programme is organised in two main projects – the New Sjölunda project and the Tunnel project, responsible for contructing the system's facilities, and the Permit project, developing the necessary permits for the contruction of MAXIMA, and the Automation project serving as a link between the main projects in terms of automation solutions.

In order for the projects to have the right conditions to carry out their tasks, there are a number of support functions with different areas of competence and responsibility.
Specifiers of requirements and beneficiaries
The requirements for the new wastewater treatmen system are specified by VA SYD’s line organisation. The programme organisation therefore places great emphasis on planning and collaboration with the line organisation, from start to handover. The right conditions for this are created through extensive coordination where employees in existing operations are supported to make it possible to both manage current operations and participate in the planning of new facilities.
