Blasting for the new metro line - report sensitive equipment in Biomedicum

Previously (2019 to 2021), blasting work occurred around Biomedicum and under Solnavägen from the direction of Torsplan. Between March and May 2019, Stockholm County inventoried instruments in Biomedicum that are sensitive to vibrations, followed by the installation of protective measures where necessary.

Blasting work will approach Biomedicum under Solnavägen from the direction of SciLifeLab during 2025 and a few months into 2026. According to the current planning, breakthrough to the already existing tunnels with take place around the end of 2025 near the entrance to Biomedicum.
All instruments that are sensitive to vibrations shall be reported. More information about which equipment could be sensitive to vibrations is found under Documents.
