Fatal accident at the Kista Centrum construction site in Stockholm

An unfortunate accident occurred on July 15th 2008, at the Kista Centrum construction site in Stockholm, when intermediate floor structures collapsed.

The collapse caused the death of a Ruukki subcontractor’s employee, and two other people were injured. Ruukki extends its sincere condolences to the worker’s family and its sympathies to all affected by the accident.

The intermediate floor structures were installed above a street. The reason for the collapse is unknown and is under careful investigation. Ruukki is working closely with the local authorities to establish what led to the accident and how it happened.

Finnish Ruukki and its subcontractors provide delivery and installation of frame structures for the constructor of the building project.
