Veidekke: Constructing admissions building for Drammen Hospital

Veidekke: Constructing admissions building for Drammen Hospital

After a two-month long negotiation phase, the South-Eastern Norway Regional

Health Authority has contracted Veidekke to construct the admissions building

for the new hospital in Drammen. The contract is a design and build contract

worth NOK 406 million, excluding VAT.

The admissions building will be a combined office building with entrance

facilities and canteen functions for staff and visitors. The building, with its

total floor space of 13,400 m[2] spread over five stories, will be situated

between the psychiatry building and the somatic health building. Veidekke's

contract includes everything from planning to design, construction, a test phase

and commissioning until the new hospital is complete in 2025.

"We are proud to have been chosen again and are very grateful for the continued

trust. There is little that a contractor enjoys more than the chance to build a

modern, future-oriented hospital that will benefit and please patients,

relatives and staff. We are, therefore, extremely satisfied and look forward to

expanding our collaboration with the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health

Authority's project team," says Head of Department Marianne Haugen of Veidekke

Bygg.

This will be Veidekke's second major contract for the new hospital in Drammen.

In April, the company was contracted to build three buildings for mental health

and substance abuse services worth NOK 770 million.

"With Veidekke we are getting a solid contractor that will help to ensure

patients, staff and visitors receive a good welcome to the new hospital. We look

forward to our continued collaboration with Veidekke in this new area," says

Project Director Arnstein Hodne of the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health

Authority.

Building works will start in August with takeover scheduled for November 2024.
