Projects in Infrastructure

By digitalizing Underground Utility line location services, the risk of damage to infrastructure is reduced, while fieldwork becomes safer and more precise. The goal is to create a fully digital and seamless workflow — from request to response. It's about making the process faster, safer, and more …

The project Circular Ports supports the transition to a circular economy by testing and demonstrating CE strategies in port environments in the Baltic Sea region. By promoting cooperation between port stakeholders, the project aims to create synergies that increase resource efficiency, reduce waste…

- Alternative binders for concrete - Validation of new testing methods adapted to alternative binders

How are the activities of Swedish ports affected by external factors such as total defense, NATO and climate change? What are the synergies and contradictions between the development towards the sustainable port and the new investments that need to be made in a changing world?

Offshore wind power offers great potential for renewable electricity generation in Sweden. However, port capacity to meet the needs of the offshore wind power industry is far from sufficient. The project will help Swedish ports to evaluate their business potential for the wind power industry, throu…

RISE enhances the competitiveness of Swedish airports, focusing on Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Based on our research results, we are developing next-generation, digitally transformed airports and improving runway efficiency, sustainability, and safety.

The objective of HyTruck is to support public authorities in steering the development of a transnational network of green hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) suited for large trucks. This shall help to overcome the “chicken & egg problem” that SMEs and infrastructure providers are facing.

Starting from bio-based and circular raw materials, tomorrow's asphalt is developed.

The project focuses on examining the longevity and adhesion of sealants to different materials after aging, with the aim of extending the maintenance interval for low and medium voltage poles in electrical distribution.

This project investigates, from a broader system perspective, the socio-economic consequences of the various choices that can be made regarding the production and distribution of hydrogen and the related infrastructure. The project aims to answer this question by focusing on two value chains: elect…

In the FLYH2UME project, Umeå Municipality, Swedavia, RISE and Umeå Energi are jointly taking significant steps to prepare for the introduction of hydrogen at airports and to enable hydrogen flights by 2035.

What requirements should be set for macadam ballast for high-speed track? In the project, the degradation processes are studied, test methods and the availability of materials is mapped around previously planned routes for high-speed tracks (> 250 km/km) in Sweden. Today's requirements abro…

The project aims to enable the characterization of dynamic pressure sensors in a continuous frequency range from static pressure to hundreds of kilohertz by bridging the frequency gap between static pressure standards and shock tubes.

The overall goal of the project is to contribute with knowledge so that electric roads for heavy traffic can be established on a large scale and thus enable a transition to a fossil-free and energy-efficient transport system almost free from emissions.

RISE coordinated the work packages: Access and Control & Logistics and Systemeffects within the national R&D program for High Capacity Land Transport.

The main goal of the project is to scale-up binder production using kraft lignin (kraft lignin and bitumen) and by building a test road to study the characteristics of this innovative binder used in asphalt concrete. Kraft lignin is a commercial product from the forest industry.

The purpose is to examine and improve the continuous preventive bridge maintenance that inter alia consists of washing, cleaning of drainage system and bridge joints and removal of vegetation. How the maintenance affects the material and structure is relatively unknown, since the procedure is based…

The project has successfully carried out a full-scale study to measure the dynamic properties of several tall timber buildings in Europe. Based on these results, representative FE models have been developed to predict the vibration response of tall timber buildings subjected to wind-induced dynamic…
