Building the European Spallation Source

Skanska is building the European Spallation Source, a research facility in Lund, Sweden. The facility’s unique capabilities will help researchers tackle some of the most complex challenges confronting science and medicine. Protons will be shot through a 537-metre long tunnel at almost the speed of light, to collide with a massive rotating helium-cooled tungsten wheel, which then releases neutrons. These are then led via neutron guides to different scientific experimental stations. The project design and build is being delivered through a highly collaborative approach with our customer. Our UK engineering team is providing the fit-out knowledge and expertise in support of our Swedish colleagues who are responsible for delivering the facility.
