Veidekke: Redeveloping landfill in Bergen
Veidekke and their Belgian partner DEME Environmental have been awarded a
contract by the City of Bergen to redevelop the old waste landfill at
Slettebakken in Bergen. The contract will follow an interaction phase between
the parties, and is a design and build contract valued at NOK 350 million
excluding VAT. Veidekke's share comprises 50% of the contract value.
The old landfill at Slettebakken will be redeveloped so that the area may be
used for sports, residential and commercial purposes. Overall, approximately
200,000 tonnes of material will be excavated and sorted before being either
reused at the site or processed as waste and sent to reception/landfill. The
entire project will be executed according to the circular economy principle, and
works will have stringent measures for minimal impact on the environment.
"We are very pleased to sign a contract for this prestigious commission and
appreciate the confidence placed in us. Veidekke has extensive expertise and
experience from this type of work, as does our Belgian partner. We have also
worked together on a comparable project at Valløy near Tønsberg. In good
cooperation with the Environment Agency in the City of Bergen we will ensure
that Slettebakken is prepared for further development," says Ingmar Austevoll,
Director with Bygg Vest in Veidekke.
The project will start up physically in mid-August 2022 and gradually build-up
to full production in the first quarter of 2023. The work is scheduled for
completion in the spring of 2024.
