Utvider E6 med Holdbar Fundament

Nye Veier is implementing a project to construct a new E6 from Kolomoen to Ensby that reuses the existing road structure, with minimal telehiv (frost heave) issues, to build two additional lanes. They plan to build a 1.8-meter foundation, which is thicker than the current 1.2-meter standard, aligned with previous specifications from Statens vegvesen for a reliable and long-lasting four-lane motorway.

Svenske Metoder for Kvalitetsveier

To reduce costs, align with Sweden's cost-effective construction methods, and increase quality, Nye Veier is proposing the use of Swedish regulations for road design and frost protection. Over the last 20 years, Sweden's Trafikverket has developed advanced structural and frost protection methods, which have not been adopted in Norway, but are referenced in Norwegian regulations. Frost dimensioning, however, will comply with Norwegian standards.

Langsiktig Kvalitetssikring

Recent telehiv issues on other roads have been linked to non-compliance with regulations and use of frost-susceptible materials. In contrast, Nye Veier's comprehensive ownership and requirement for a 20-year maintenance responsibility from contractors emphasize the project's focus on building lasting, high-quality solutions. A proposed reduction in foundation thickness for the new lanes has been considered but disregarded in favor of more robust construction.
