Winter Construction

This was a big field at Lillgården a few years ago. Now it is a building site with the new road to and from Lillgården going through it. I have showed you photos from here a couple of times. This big crane arrived last week so I'm guessing it will be another Winter with a lot of construction here as Turbinen plans to build a hundred or so apartments here.

The crane is up

A view towards central Handen as seen from a jetty at Lower Lake Rudan. Shot at midday on a darkish December day using ISO 5000. I wanted to show you old city hall, (the building to the left), and the big crane that I wrote a post about on Theme Day two weeks ago. The other buildings in the photo are Rudsjöterrassen (offices, gym, hotel and more), near the commuter station. New city hall, and to the right a building belonging to KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology.

Reaching for the sky

Something's up at the Supermarket Coop Forum in Handen. Hard to miss this big crane! No idea what they will build here, this is the parking lot. I googled it and found an aerial photo.

Distant Heating Pipeline

A truck arrives at Nederstaleden in Västerhaninge with pipelines for the distant heating project. Short explanation:
The idea behind distant heating is that one big source will be used instead of many smaller ones. From the power plant the water runs via the pipeline to the houses. After warming up the house the cooling water goes back to the power plant and the process is repeated. The Power Plant in Jordbro uses renewable fuel.
