HA Bygg is literally laying the foundation for a new maternity hospital at \u00d6stra Sjukhuset in Gothenburg. A yellow smart concrete computer helps supervisor Fredrik Daun and his crew keep track of when castings have reached the right strength, saving a lot of valuable time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction of the Eastern Hospital started after summer 2023 and is expected to last until 2028. A new maternity and neonatal building will be completed opposite Queen Silvia’s Children’s Hospital. As many as 12,500 deliveries per year will be possible in the new building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building will have a total of 11 floors. Nine floors above ground are dedicated to reception, maternity, neonatal and traditional care, as well as emergency rooms, overnight accommodation and administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 000 cubic meters of concrete<\/strong>There will be two levels of underground culverts. These culverts and the base plate of the house are cast by HA Bygg. It is an extensive job, to say the least. A total of 4,000 cubic meters of concrete is expected to be used to cast the 120-meter-long and 30-meter-wide base plate, walls and vaults. Some 40 people from HA Bygg will be employed until the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be able to see the status of castings at any time remotely, HA Bygg uses the Celsicom TC603 concrete computer<\/a>. It is a compact and robust, connected and battery-powered concrete computer that uses two embedded thermocouple wires to continuously measure the concrete temperature. An internal sensor in the measuring box also records the ambient air temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
