Veidekke: Expanding a living and care centre in Skien

Veidekke: Expanding a living and care centre in Skien

Today, Veidekke has entered into an agreement with Skien municipality to expand

the Lyngbakken living and care centre. This is a design and build contract,

valued at NOK 270 million, excluding VAT.

"It is very pleasing that we together through the development phase have arrived

on functionality, solutions and qualities that enables Skien municipality to

conclude a contract with us and thus start construction. All parties involved

have made important contributions here, and we are now looking forward to

extending the good partnership from the development phase into the construction

phase," says district manager Lars N. Hjertås at Veidekke Bygg Vestfold and

Telemark.

The Lyngbakken living and care centre will double the number of resident rooms

after the development from 64 to 128. The new building will comprise around

6,500 m[2] and be built on two floors with basements under parts of the

building. The development will take place next to the existing living and care

centre, which will be in full operation during the construction period.

This will be a sustainable project in which a support system in class A ultra

-low carbon concrete, energy-efficient technical installations and a local wood

chip heating plant as energy source, together result in at least a 40% reduction

in greenhouse gas emissions compared to a reference building. The building will

be delivered as energy class A and the construction works will be carried out

fossil-free.

"The concrete and timber work in the project will be carried out by Veidekke's

own skilled workers and apprentices, which is important for employment and

skills development. We will start up almost immediately, and completion is

scheduled for December 2025," Hjertås concludes.
