Veidekke ASA: To resurface runway at Avinor Oslo Airport

Avinor has awarded Veidekke the contract to resurface the eastern runway at Oslo

Airport this summer. In addition, the contract includes extending the shoulders

of the runway. The value of the contract is NOK 135 million excluding VAT.

The contract includes removing the existing asphalt surface and laying a new

surface 45 metres wide at a length of 2,380 metres. This will amount to

approximately 70,000 tons of asphalt that also includes existing exits from the

runway to taxiways. In addition, the shoulders shall be extended to operate

large aircraft and improve safety.

Veidekke won the competition for the contract in accordance with award criteria

that included price, expertise and quality. It will be a very hectic

construction period as much of the work will be carried out as weekend and night

work to reduce disadvantages to the airport's operation.

Veidekke has had continuous asphalt and construction work at Oslo Airport since

2014, and is currently involved in construction work for the extension of the

non-Schengen area. Planning of the work starts immediately, and construction

work starts after Easter.
