The contract is among the first awarded by Bane NOR on the construction of the new double track to Hamar north of Oslo and the results will make an essential contribution to the planning work on the new railway line. Aarsleff Rail is thus participating from the beginning of this comprehensive project.

"The tendering phase went extremely well, and everyone in the Aarsleff Group did their best to design a good and competitive bid. The tender shows that we are strong when it comes to cooperation on strategic projects. We are looking forward to the job "says Atle Larsen.

The foundation work, measurement and data collection proceeds from April 2017 to April 2018. Aarsleff Rail is tasked with project management and planning, the construction company Østergaard performs all earthworks, while the foundations are the responsibility of Aarsleff Ground Engineering.
