NCC to construct railroad in Norway for SEK 1.2 billion


NCC Construction Norway has secured an assignment to construct a 4.8-kilometer
rail tunnel with accompanying evacuation tunnels between Larvik and Porsgrunn,
approximately 150 kilometers southwest of Oslo. The customer is the Norwegian
National Rail Administration, Jernbaneverket, and the order is valued at
slightly more than SEK 1.2 billion, which will be added to the order book for
the second quarter of 2012.
The total tunnel length is 8.8 kilometers, since the evacuation tunnels comprise
4 kilometers.

In this type of complicated tender process, it is common not only to consider
the lowest price, but to take into account several parameters when deciding,
such as the contractors’ overall expertise and ability to deliver.

“This method of procurement, which involves the evaluation of several variables,
such as organization, resources and expertise,is something we welcome and
believe benefits all parties,” says Håkon Tjomsland, Regional Director at NCC
Construction Norway.

NCC Construction Norway is already involved in several road projects in the Oslo
area.

This will be the second tunnel project for NCC Construction Norway as part of
the work to improve the rail connection between Oslo and Skien. The first tunnel
project was at Lysaker-Sandvika, outside Oslo, and was completed in 2010.

Work is scheduled to commence in August 2012and continue until June 2016.
