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.
