Now, it can be said with no hesitation that reconstruction of Slussen can no longer be entitled as the most spoken-about construction project in Stockholm. The New Karolinska Solna university hospital has recently been the source of a mass of both news and gossips, acclaiming, scrutinizing, criticising or harshly dissenting.
The New Karolinska Solna project (NKS) is defined as a public private partnership (PPP) with an integrated project delivery (IPD) approch: Swedish Hospital Partners (SHP) has undertaken design, construction, administration and maintenance of the buildings and facilities until 2040 together with the construction firm, Skanska and the British finance company, Innisfree. The County Council has assumed to pay a total amount of 52 billion Swedish Crowns in return. The project covers an area of 320 000 sqm. and will be completed by 2016.
According to recent news, the Stockholm County Council is considering possibilities for abolishment of the contract. This has triggered a complete state of shock, confusion and denial among those who are either engaged in or concerned about the project. As far as I am concerned, that will be pity and disappointing if a state-of-the-art and multi-disciplinary construction project as such is halted for any reason. NKS can in fact be a milestone in application of BIM in Swedish building industry. Ramböll consulting company is the administrator for provision of BIM strategies for NKS. Ramböll's representative and a promoter of Open BIM, Hans Lif, hopes this project would be a breakthrough in shifting from inefficient paper and PDF specification documents and drawings to standardized modern forms of data management in building industry.
