Water
Society must have a well-functioning water and sewage infrastructure. Our sewerage systems have an underlying future growth as 2/3 of the pipes are older than 40. The importance of clean water can be seen as a matter of course, but water supply must always be a priority. On the other hand, district heating has also become an increasingly important area for many municipalities, as more than half of all homes and premises in Sweden today are heated with district heating. Among multi-family buildings, the proportion is around 90 per cent. Thanks to district heating, Sweden has successfully reduced carbon dioxide emissions in recent years. The expansion of district heating has also contributed to better air quality in our cities and urban areas.

Cleaner water in Botkyrka
JVAB was entrusted with the implementation of the Fittja stormwater parks project on behalf of Botkyrka municipality. This project encompassed the construction of two stormwater dams, Fittja meadow and Lottalund, in addition to a stormwater pipeline extending over a kilometre in length. Situated in a highly frequented area that features a wetlands park environment, JVAB was tasked with building a pumping station and bridges across the dams.
The project, was finalised by the summer of 2022, was an integral part of the municipality’s environmental investment initiatives. It is expected to contribute significantly to more sustainable stormwater management and promote cleaner water in Lake Albysjön and Lake Mälaren.
