Working on the SKB Spent Fuel Repository or the SFR extension at Forsmark? Tell us your crew size, dates and trade package and we will source long-stay housing across Östhammar, Öregrund, Gimo and Tierp.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Forsmark on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
SKB is building two repositories next to the Forsmark nuclear power plant in Östhammar municipality. The Spent Fuel Repository at Söderviken is designed for about 12,000 tonnes of spent fuel at around 500 m depth. Ground was broken in January 2025 and surface works are under way, with underground construction to follow. SKB expects about 100 people on site in the first year, rising to 300 to 400 at the busiest phase.
Alongside it, Skanska is working with SKB on the SFR extension, which adds six rock vaults of 240 to 275 m and 117,000 m³ of capacity under the sea bed. The first blast was in January 2025. Östhammar's housing programme reports very low vacancy and long queues, and regional press links new jobs at Forsmark to a shortage of homes, so crews look across Östhammar, Öregrund, Gimo and Tierp.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work on the SKB projects, matched to the drive to the Forsmark site rather than a generic Uppsala search.
We assess practical locations across Östhammar, Öregrund, Gimo and Tierp based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
