E18 Langangen – Rugtvedt

E18 Langangen – Rugtvedt is part of the E18 Langangen – Grimstad section, the project is 17 km long. We supported EIFAGE during the selection phase to win the tenders, during the clarification phase to get a signed contract and also during execution phase. Specific about this project, for us, was that we selected the key persons and trained them afterwards for the interview. Presently (December 2020) in the clarification phase.

E6 Moelv – Roterud

The project includes a main bridge over Lake Mjøsa and an 11km section of a four-lane motorway. The bridge will be the world’s longest structural timber crossing and set a benchmark for the use of sustainable materials in major infrastructure projects, according to a statement from BESIX. Specific for this project was to ‘translate’ the picture of the bridge into winning text. It was our first project in Norway with a non Norwegian contractor.

E6 Kvithammer – Åsen

Construction of a 19 kilometer motorway from Kvithammar to Åsen. The section is being built as a four-lane motorway with a speed limit of 110 km / h. The project includes four tunnels, all with double tunnels. One of them is the Forbordsfjell tunnel, which with its 7.8 km will be Central Norway’s longest tunnel. This was our 3rd project we supported Hæhre in getting selected for the clarification phase.

E6 Kvål – Melhus

The contract with Peab and Cowi is the first to be implemented as Integrated Project Delivery (IPL) in Nye Veier, and it is completely new in Norwegian road construction. The contract form means that the client, contractor and consultant develops a binding, trust-based community that will work for the best for the project in all phases in an open form of work with open calculations, incentive model and shared risk.

To plan and build the road by the turn of the year 2021/2022, Nye Veier has engaged Hæhre Entreprenør AS as a turnkey contractor. Hæhre brings Rambøll, Sweco, TT Anlegg and Traftec to the work. These companies, which constitute the turnkey contractor, shall prepare zoning plans with a buildable road route that is socio-economically profitable and that takes as much account as possible of buildings, nature, wildlife, nature diversity, outdoor life and cultural heritage.

E18 Rugtvedt – Dørdal

The section is approximately 16 kilometers long and the construction time has been approximately 2.5 years. Road opening was in December 2019 as planned. It was also our first Best Value contract in Norway. We supported Hæhre from selection until road opening
