NCC initiates construction of Regiment A 9 in Kristinehamn, Sweden

NCC has a partnering agreement with the Swedish Fortifications Agency to construct the Bergslagen Artillery Regiment A 9 base in Kristinehamn. The first subproject, involving time-sensitive, large-scale excavation mass handling, is now starting, with an order value of approximately SEK 300 million.

“NCC is currently involved in the planning and coordination of a number of major projects subject to security classifications, providing us with valuable experience that we can apply to the A9 project as we now shift from planning to production. By partnering effectively at an early stage with the Swedish Fortifications Agency, we have laid the foundation for a successful project,” says Niklas Sparw, Head of NCC Building Sweden.

As part of this first subproject, NCC will excavate and backfill approximately one million cubic meters of soil, and blast and crush two million tons of rock to be subsequently used as structural materials in the project.

Production of the crushed rock will take place at a side-borrow pit at the planned shooting range on the site, making the project almost self-sufficient as regards stone materials. This will minimize transport to and from the project and reduce its environmental footprint.

In parallel, extensive planning, design and cost estimation activities are underway, with NCC drafting the project schedule and budget. Production of the first buildings is scheduled to begin in about a year.

The total investment decision from the government for the entire project – which NCC announced in a press release in September 2026 – is approximately SEK 6.5 billion over the coming years.

NCC has been awarded the first order in the project. The order value of the project of approximately SEK 300 million will be registered among orders in the NCC Building Sweden business area in the fourth quarter of 2026.
