Assemblin secures new multi-technical assignment from NKT
Assemblin Electrical, Heating & Sanitation, Ventilation and Sprinklers have signed an agreement with Skanska and NKT, the end customer, regarding installations in the new cable tower in Karlskrona, Sweden. The cable tower is NKT’s third extrusion tower and all the Assemblin Swedish Business Areas will participate.
All of Assemblin’s Swedish Business Areas were also involved in the work on the second tower, which was completed in 2022. The new tower, the foundations for which began to be laid in May 2023, will be NKT’s third and tallest tower. At a depth of 15 meters below ground and a height of about 200 meters above ground, this will be Sweden’s second-tallest building. The Skanska/Assemblin assignment will be completed in the spring of 2026. NKT is working to this schedule and the plant is due to be operational in 2027 when deliveries of cable to end-customers are planned.
“We are extremely proud to again be involved in the construction one of NKT’s cable towers. All of our disciplines demonstrated extensive commitment and professionalism during the construction of the preceding tower. I am certain that this played a key role in the renewed confidence shown in us now. We have extensive experience of working together and assuming responsibility for all installation work. Our local project managers have a high degree of commitment and understand the customer’s needs very well,” says Fredrik Allthin, EVP and Head of Division Sweden.
The extrusion tower is being constructed to produce submarine and terrestrial cable, a specific type of high-voltage cable that is laid on the seabed to connect offshore wind farms, for example.
“We are building the world’s largest high-voltage submarine cable factory. The third tower will produce the highest voltage cable in the industry. In this project, it is therefore a matter of course for us to use NKT’s own high-quality installation cables and solutions to the greatest extent possible,” says Darren Fennell, EVP and Managing Director of HV Solutions Karlskrona at NKT.
NKT’s investment in the world’s largest high-voltage submarine cable factory will help develop the distribution of renewable energy sources, enhancing technical progress in Sweden.
