NCC to construct tunnel in Telemark, Norway

NCC has been commissioned to construct a new tunnel along the E134 highway
between Gvammen and Århus in Telemark, Norway. The construction period will be
four and a half years and the contract is worth SEK 1,140 million.
“We are delighted to have been selected by the Norwegian Road Administration.
NCC’s leading-edge technical expertise makes us competitive when it comes to
major infrastructure projects, which is a factor that will benefit those who
live and work in Telemark,”, says Håkon Tjomsland, Business Area Manager for NCC
Construction Norway.

The new tunnel will be 9.4 kilometers long. The contract also includes
construction of 1.1 kilometers of roads on either side of the mountain, 5
kilometers of local roads and two crossings. The order also encompasses several
smaller bridges and portals, as well as other structures along the section to be
built.

The tunnel will facilitate traffic in two directions. Since traffic will be
routed through the tunnel from Gvammen to Århus, the length of the E134 highway
will be shortened by approximately 11 kilometers. Accessibility and road safety
will also be improved along the new section of highway.

NCC has excellent experience of advanced tunnel and infrastructure projects in
Norway.

NCC’s proprietary “Green Construction” concept will be applied on the sites used
for the current project. This entails more stringent requirements than those
imposed by public authorities in respect of, for example, energy consumption and
waste management.

“We will contribute to a sustainable construction and civil engineering industry
by pursuing comprehensive environmental activities in the project,” says Sigrid
Strand-Hansen, Environmental Manager for NCC Construction Norway.

Work on the project will commence in 2014 and is scheduled for completion in
2019. The order will be registered during the fourth quarter of 2014 in the NCC
Construction Norway business area.
