NCC and Liseberg sign agreement for reconstruction of Oceana

NCC and Liseberg amusement park have signed a partnering agreement for the reconstruction of the Oceana Water World in Gothenburg that was damaged by fire earlier this year. In the first stage, the parties will jointly plan and design the reconstruction.

“NCC and Liseberg have maintained a close dialogue since the fire and this is an important step in moving closer to completing the project that we initiated together. There will now follow a number of months when we will jointly plan and design the reconstruction of Oceana,” says Niklas Sparw, Head of NCC Building Sweden.   

“With an agreement in place between NCC and Liseberg, we are jointly working towards the reconstruction of Oceana. The water park is preliminarily expected to be completed in 2026, which we are very much looking forward to,” says Andreas Andersen, CEO of Liseberg.

The agreement is a supplemental agreement to the parties’ existing agreement and is divided into two phases that NCC and Liseberg will implement in partnering form. The first phase will begin immediately and consists of design and planning as well as any preliminary works at the construction site required prior to the reconstruction. The second phase consists of detailed design and construction and will start when Liseberg suborders phase two. The order will be registered at that time.

Since March 2024, NCC has been conducting demolition and remediation work and work to minimize damage to the areas of Oceana that remain intact. This work will continue during the summer.
