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 five 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
A chief executive, a programme director and an engineering director make up the programme management team. The chief executive reports to the CEO and to the municipalities via both politicians and civil servants. The programme director manages a number of projects, and the assistant programme director manages the support functions. The engineering director establishes an organisation to assure the quality of a future handover from the programme organisation to VA SYD’s line organisation. The programme director and the engineering director report to the chief executive.
Projects and support functions
The programme is organised in four main projects:
Project New Sjölunda
Project Tunnel
Project Automation
Project Permits
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 collaboration and planning with the line organisation, from start to handover. The right conditions for this are created with an engineering section in which employees in existing operations are supported by new resources and specialist skills, to make it possible to both manage current operations and participate in the planning of a new plant.
