Mega Transports: Villagemove | Engineering Documentary
Moving an entire village in Sweden - a true mega transport!
Everyone knows it: Housemoving is a lot of work, requires excellent planning and costs time and money. Just imagine how it must be if you are moving an entire village - as a whole. Impossible? The dutch logistic and heavy transport company Mammoet says: Not for us! And that’s what they do: the Swedish city of Malmberget has to make room for a mine and therefore move to nearby Koskullskulle.
Because many of the houses in Malmberget are of high cultural value, the governmental mining company LKAB wants to move them in one piece. Preparations for this mammoth-project take several months. First, the team has to dig out the soil from underneath the houses and then fortify it properly. Beams are put underneath the house to make it ready to be positioned on Mammoet’s special transportation equipment.
The houses vary in size, with a weight ranging between 45 and 210 tons, the biggest one measuring 14 meters in length, 14 meters in width and 14 meters in height: The villa “Höijersbacke”, Malmbergets pride and joy.
The villa is special, because of its chimneys: They have to be extra-carefully secured to make sure the building does not collapse during lifting.
Millimeter by millimeter, the villa is carefully lifted up, the trailer drives underneath and takes it away - on narrow roads, through tiny villages, over steep hills all the way to its destination. Most important: The balance and the weight of the load needs to be engineered very carefully beforehand. On its way, the mega transport faces many difficulties - despite all the detailed planning…

i like how they talk english to each other rather than just letting the editors put in translations
Why PewDiePie don't speak English?
Everyone in Sweden knows english pretty much
I've yet to find a Swede who doesn't speak English. It's an amazing country and every Swede I've met is the nicest person I've ever met
the English are colonialists
@@therickman1990 thanks for that, pleasure to hear :)
I love how Tommy Nylundh have a protective cowboy hat.
Because Lapland is the wild west of Sweden. Or possibly, Alaska of Sweden. It was actually colonized about the same time as the wild west (mid 19 century)

I live in Sweden and it is so cool to see all the workers move all the houses.
Moving entire houses is one of the craziest things human beings have said "yeah why not" to when asked the question if they should. It's cool to see how people just... can do that.
*"if there's something huge, in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? MAMMOET!!"*

What a powerful event that was. I am happy for T Nylund & crew plus the guys driving the mega-truck. And I am happy that LKAB cares about historical buildings so they pay for the relocation of those structures. My best commendations in that respect!!!

Great Job Tommy and his team! And the moving team! peace
Considering there's 22900 people living there... That's a reeeeeeeeally big village!
You're thinking of Kiruna and the entire municipality of Kiruna which is 20,000 km^2, the town of Kiruna has 18,000 people. Malmberget which is showcased here had 10,400 people before it started declining in population in the 80's
The way he says Malmberget makes it sound like Malmböget. Which sounds like something entirely different.
The commentator was awesome. "at the end, the swedish sky shed more tears, but no one else joins in" 😅 I want to find him.
If you forgot I'll remind you... The house was built nearly 100 years ago!
😨
That's a pretty common house in Scandinavia. There are houses still intact from the year 1200 in sweden :)
100 years is not that old for a Swedish house.
@@mangethegamer 200 år är inte häller så gammalt det finns hus som är från 1800 talet

Excellent and well detailed documentary. Nice one.❤
Great documentary as allways. I realised that I was holding my breath while watching. Thank you free documentary team! You are awsome!!
And the swedish team is really great!
Kinda annoyed they keep calling it a village. I mean it's probably technically correct, but I've always considered it a town. For me a village would be something like Liikavaara with ~50 inhabitants. I mean have you ever seen a village with a 13 story high-rise? Anyway the part in the beginning when they are deconstructing the foundation felt kinda ridiculous, 'very carefully' they say as the worker go at it with jackhammers and diggers. I mean I know it shouldn't be an issue but they made it sound like it was made of glass. But despite living 5 kilometers from Malmberget I don't really have a connection with it, the town have been declining since before I was born.
Is this what you are created for just to find flaws on the most nonsensical stuff. How FPO you live with yourself and your wife?
@@celinamilian I have no Idea why you are so hostile, I merely expressed my opinion on a couple of the tonal choices made in the documentary. Also why did you bring a hypothetical wife into this?
@@Cerulean_Frost You sound weak and being called out. Little things like this shouldn't pass your day to annoy you. Your acting Beta and I don't like it for my fellow man. And what man says 'kinda'. It's either you are or not. Love you man be at peace.
@@celinamilian I will grant you that I use the word 'kinda' more than others, but that doesn't mean I'm undecided. It's just a shorter way of typing 'a little bit', perhaps I should be using 'slightly' instead but it's also more of a bother to write. If I'm 'beta' I presume you consider yourself 'alfa'? If so I'm happy I'm not like you.. But peace to you as well.
@offroadwithfredde Jepp det där var mitt farväl.
It just goes to show many of us have no idea how much work goes on behind the scenes

Great job.
Excellent vid.
Tommy Nylundh is very sympathetic.
This is incredible
29:30 imagine a quick tire-change on this thing
imagen getting a flat tire you have to change with the load on
In fact I think this could be somewhat easier; remember each wheel height can be adjusted individually? Just lift the wheel by itself! You don’t even need a jack!
Good job team💪

O vidio e muto lindo impressionante a capacidade de uma equipe em seus trabalhos .pena que não e dublado .
Bra gjort teamet!
Going from village in the headline to city in the normal text when talking about Malmberget is really being on both sides of the truth, the correct word for Malmberget is a town.
I would say the correct name is probobly a suburb.
"moving by hand is more gently" drops the stones hard on each other with a bobcat - yeahhhh.......
It's granite. It's super hard.
And when it is super hard it is also very brittle, cracks easy because the material don't have any give in it.

Well done everyone involved.
Fun fact: There's a very similar move that needs to happen in a relatively nearby town. This move was supposed to have begun as early as 2006, but was delayed due to disagreements on where it would be moved and who was going to pay. The mining company wanted to split the pay so that they paid half, and the state paid the other half, as the state was the founder of the company and the mine, and operated it up until about the 70's. It also wanted the town moved to the back of a nearby small mountain so that the town would be protected from cold arctic winds, and situated a bit higher to keep the temperature a bit higher, as the town was originally built with wind direction and elevation in mind to alleviate some of the issues of the harsh environment. The state on the other hand wanted the municipality to pay for the whole thing on its own, and for the town to be placed at a nearby flatland region with no protection from winds or temperatures as it would be cheaper. To add to this the state right around this time rewrote the taxation laws so that companies would pay taxes directly to the state instead of the municipality where they're operating in, causing the municipality to go from one of the richest in the country to one of the poorest, and has had problems maintaining infrastructure ever since. Ironically the mine is probably one of the most important resources the state has due to its ore being primarily high quality magnetite, rather than the usual standard iron ore.
Tragelaphic...
no matter how good they make it i can imagine it will not be the same for those who live there
Good job
Skönt att det skaffar arbeten.
Det hade var kul och få vara med på något andrarunda arbete.
Removing the chimneys before the big move would have been a nice idea if not for structural integrity issues.

Too much mining, such a big country and just below these houses the mine is causing problems. The relocation of Kiruna in Sweden could serve as a blueprint for moving future towns that are threatened by rising sea levels.
Nazis need steel and ball bearings when world war 3 starts. That's why it's important that Sweden has mines all over the country.

Yeah arbetsmiljöverket (OHSA) would like to have a word with our dear Tommy. And just becuase you have water does not mean you should do it without breathing protection. To be fair almost all the work they did with the foundation requieres breathing protection.

don't worry lads.. in the near future we shall transport the houses by air .. using helicopters such as The Mil Mi-26 .. that way we shall eliminate all the challenges brought by land transportation .. hence transport faster and houses with any weight, shape and size as you know the mighty sky has no barriers or obstacles ... 😉
