IKEA is at one end of the building, and the food giant City Gross at the other end, with around 80 shops and restaurants in between. The objective is to attract five million visitors per year.

Background

IKEA’s existing store in Västerås, which opened in 1984, was too small. Jointly with Ikano Retail, a decision was made to build a new store with space both for IKEA and other retailers. A new junction along the E18 was built and large amounts of rock had to be blasted away to make room for the 100,000m2 shopping centre.

Solution

In spring 2010 the construction of the shopping centre started and the first delivery of MLC pipes was made from Uponor to Västerås Rörtjänst AB, who were contracted to carry out the piping and cooling installations. The installations are designed to use five metre lengths in dimensions of 16–110mm. In total, 25,000 metres of MLC piping was used. Erikslund Shopping Centre offers 3,500 parking places in covered and open-air car parks. In order to streamline the shopping experience and improve security in winter, Uponor surface heating systems were also installed in the garage ramp area and in loading and unloading zones. The installation comprises nearly 5,600 metres of Meltaway PEX piping.

Result

Tommy Wallin of Västerås Rörtjänst AB was in charge of the work. “Thanks to Uponor’s composite pipes we were able to complete the installations 30 per cent faster than if we had used copper pipes,” says Tommy. “This means a saving of around 4,900 man hours by using Uponor’s MLC pipes.”


“In addition, the pipes are ergonomically advantageous to work with and do not entail any hot work,” Wallin continues.
