Hexagon is equipping Skanska with surveying solutions needed to construct Project Rogfast, a 27km subsea tunnel, one of the longest and deepest in the world.
Project Rogfast poses extraordinary engineering challenges, including tunnelling from both ends to meet within a 5cm margin of error. Even a small misalignment can cause massive rework and waste. Hexagon’s portfolio of Leica Geosystems solutions ensures every surveyor, excavator and drill operates with high-confidence accuracy.
Hexagon’s technologies are delivering measurable impact across the project by enabling precise alignment with total stations, GPS, multistations and laser scanners. They are reducing rework, emissions and cost through real-time data capture and validation.
“In a project like this, even a millimetre of misalignment can trigger cascading risks,” said Trond Valleur, vice president of Skanska. “Hexagon’s technology gives our teams the confidence to move forward with accuracy, efficiency and safety. That precision and our shared drive to push boundaries is what makes this partnership so powerful.”
“This project is a milestone for infrastructure and a testament to how measurement technologies are reshaping what’s possible,” said Burkhard Boeckem, chief technical officer at Hexagon. “We’re proud to support Skanska with solutions that enable their teams to work smarter and safer with accuracy.”
The tunnel also represents the strength of Skanska and Hexagon’s 30-year partnership, rooted in innovation and shared ambition. Skanska teams use a wide array of Hexagon tools, including the Leica RTC360, Leica MS60 MultiStation, Leica AP20 AutoPole and Leica TS60 – the world’s most accurate total station, according to Hexagon.
