Nordic rental company Cramo has
won a £15 million mining deal to provide equipment for a
large-scale project at the Kiruna mine in Sweden.
The Finnish-based company, which
specialises in equipment rental services, has been chosen to
provide LKAB, an international high-tech minerals group wholly
owned by the Swedish state, with construction machinery, access
equipment, modular space and related site services for a minimum
order value of €15 million over a four-year period.

The rental agreement is part of a €1.2
billion investment by LKAB in a new mining level in Kiruna, the
Northern Swedish municipality situated in the Lapland province.
Cramo’s CEO Vesa Koivula said that
LKAB had chosen his company for the order, because of its
“capability to deliver everything that is needed in terms of site
infrastructure services in a huge workplace”.
Cramo, which has already worked in
previous projects with LKAB in Kiruna, will deliver all tools,
construction machinery, access equipment, scaffolding and other
necessary equipment, as well as site offices, dining rooms,
conference rooms, sanitary facilities, storage facilities and phone
and IT connections.
Erik Bengtsson, who manages Cramo’s
Swedish operations, said that the intensity in the construction
work would peak during the initial four or five years.
