NCC builds for the healthcare of tomorrow
As one of the largest hospital developers in the Nordic region, we develop cutting-edge healthcare facilities in a technically complex construction project that has to satisfy meticulous requirements. The functions are tested virtually by NCC and the customer right from the start.
Simple reporting of NCC’s own work environment via an app
As part of the NCC’s occupational health and safety efforts, we collect thousands of observations about our work environment through the Synergi app. The data helps us to formulate methods for safer and healthier worksites.
