E18/E39 Gartnerløkka-Kolsdalen Fossilfri Oppgradering

Første spadetak i Kristiansand

In Kristiansand, the construction project E18/E39 Gartnerløkka-Kolsdalen began with the ceremonial 'first dig' using a 10-ton electric excavator operated by Holbæk Anlegg AS. The kick-off marks the start of 'Enterprise 1,' with 'Enterprise 2' expected to begin around the turn of the year 2021/2022.

Pilotprosjekt for fossilfritt anlegg

The project aims to be fossil-free, using electric and biodiesel machinery, as part of a pilot initiative for fossil-free construction sites championed by Statens vegvesen along with three other projects. The selection of contractors takes environmental considerations into account, prioritizing climate-friendly construction procedures.

Samarbeid og infrastrukturplanlegging

Close cooperation between Statens vegvesen and contractor Holbæk Anlegg AS has resulted in a comprehensive plan for the project's execution. Works in 'Enterprise 1' include the relocation of pipes and cables, stormwater management, and installation of conduits for fiber optics and electricity, with minimal impact on the current traffic system. The completion deadline for this phase is December 15, 2021.
