DGE provides Environmental support for the Construction of Emporia
Kalmar, Sweden
June 2011
DGE has been providing environmental support to shopping mall developer Steen & Ström Sweden AB for the development of Sacndanavia’s leading International shopping mall ‘Emporia’.
Described as Europe’s most spectacular and Scandinavia’s largest shopping centre, the ‘mega-mall’ Emporia promises to deliver a shopping experience well beyond the norm.
When completed the mall will cover a total area of 216,000 square meters and include 200 shops, more than 20 restaurants and cafes, a rooftop park, two indoor playgrounds, several family rooms and plenty of open space areas.
DGE has been assigned to ensure that no harmful materials are used in the new construction project and to make sure that environmental material and product standards are followed.
For this assignment DGE expert Linda Karlsson, who worked on the construction project for the Malmö Arena, has been leading the project and using the database Sunda Hus (“Healthy Houses”) to provide environmental support and knowledge. The mall is due to open in October 2012.
