new terminal building and office block at Trondheim Central Station. The
buildings will be certified in accordance with the BREEAM-NOR Excellent
environmental standard. The collaborative deals takes the form of a design and
build contract featuring incentives and has a total value of NOK 722 million
excluding VAT.
"We are incredibly grateful to Bane NOR Eiendom for this exciting commission.
Together with the client, consultants and subcontractors, we have come through a
very good development phase that will guarantee a superb building and
construction process. We are now looking forward to getting to work on the
detailed design after the summer holidays, and starting construction in 2023,"
says Torgeir Wiig, regional director for Veidekke Bygg Trøndelag.
The new Trondheim Central Station will have a total floor area of 17,500 m[2]
across eight storeys. The terminal building will comprise approx. 4,500 m[2]

magnificent views of the city and fjord. The terminal building will be above the
tracks, and the construction process will take place without any interruption to
train services. The parts of the building that will span the rails will be built
on a modular basis allowing for rapid assembly on site. The building across the
tracks will serve as a vantage point and provide a connection between the city
centre and the port. The design has taken into account a number of the UN's
Sustainable Development Goals.

a demanding project that must be planned rigorously to ensure that trains can

this project together with them," says Arne Hognestad, project director at Bane
