| Ramboll awarded new road project in Norway Danish consultant Ramboll has won an engineering project for a 6.4km long stretch of the E18 motorway between Bommestad and Sky in Norway. In spring 2005, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration began working on plans to replace a section of the E18 motorway. The motorway was constructed in 1970 and is no longer able to meet the requirements of the ever increasing road traffic. The plans involve constructing a four-lane motorway along the E18 past Larvik. The project involves the construction of a four lane motorway between Bommestad and Sky, as well as a motorway bridge stretching alongside the Farris drinking water reservoir, and a number of long tunnel projects. In addition, Ramboll is responsible for coordinating with two additional contractors, who will be working to assist Ramboll during the construction period. Ramboll was awarded two of the three contracts, with a total value of 70 million Norwegian kroner. The more prestigious project is the bridge construction, which Ramboll won in collaboration with L2 Architects. The bridge is one of the largest bridge engineering projects for Ramboll in Norway. The entire project will be designed in 3D. Construction work will commence in late 2012/ early 2013, and the road is to be opened in 2016. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
