The tunnel through Hallandsåsen comprises two single-track lines on a stretch that, in total, is 8.7 kilometres long. It runs from Båstad in the north to Förslöv in the south and is an important part of the west coast line between Gothenburg and Lund. The first trains are due to go through the tunnel in 2015. By then, Benders will have supplied the project with 35 kilometres of object-specific cable ducting.

The “Bohus County Quarrying Industry Cooperative”, now owned by Benders, was founded in 1926. Focusing on manual craftsmanship, the cooperative soon established itself as a dominant player in the quarrying industry in the Bohuslän region of Sweden. Rock has always demanded skilled and respectful handling to give its very best. Even today, it is the granite that tells the mason where to set his or her chisel.

In-house production, know-how and resources mean that we at Benders can be flexible and thus specially adapt and develop products for projects. This makes us complete suppliers of both concrete and granite products.
