By Defence Industry Europe

The Swedish construction company NCC has been commissioned by the Swedish Fortifications Agency to develop the Villingsberg training ground and firing range in Karlskoga. The project is part of efforts to re-establish the Bergslagen Artillery Regiment and includes the construction of new service buildings and infrastructure.

 

The order is valued at approximately SEK 300 million and involves the creation of a modern vehicle maintenance and storage area. Additional work includes the development of facilities for training and services, alongside upgrades to water and wastewater systems, electricity, and fibre networks.

Malin Berglind, Project Manager at the Swedish Fortifications Agency, highlighted NCC’s expertise as a key factor in the partnership. She emphasised the company’s capability to contribute to the re-establishment of the regiment in line with Sweden’s defence needs.

 

 

Kenneth Nilsson, Head of NCC Infrastructure, welcomed the opportunity to continue working with the Swedish Fortifications Agency. He stated that NCC values the ongoing collaboration and looks forward to strengthening Sweden’s total defence through the project.

Construction work has already begun and will be carried out in phases, with final completion expected by the summer of 2026. The order will be registered under the NCC Infrastructure business area in the first quarter of 2025.
