Construction flaws have emerged during foundation work for the artificial peninsula at Masthuggskajen in Gothenburg. The issues could delay the Global Business Gate skyscraper project. A legal dispute now appears likely between the developer and contractor.
Älvstranden development project manager Anders Ydreskog confirmed the disagreement. He stated they have different views about the construction quality.
Contractor Aarsleff maintains no construction flaws exist at the site. This contradicts the developer's assessment of the foundation work.
The artificial peninsula represents one of Gothenburg's largest urban development projects. Located along the city's waterfront, it aims to create new commercial and residential space.
The construction problems highlight the challenges of building on artificial land formations. Such projects require precise engineering to ensure long-term stability.
Gothenburg has invested heavily in waterfront development in recent years. The city seeks to transform former industrial areas into modern urban districts.
Construction delays could increase costs for the entire development project. The timeline for completing the Global Business Gate tower now remains uncertain.
