Kontrakt: Nesbrua bygging

Statens vegvesen Region midt has entered into a contract with the joint venture of Alpine Bau GmbH / DSD Brükenbau GmbH for the construction of Nesbrua as part of the E6 Harran-Nesbru project. The contract amount is 60.2 million NOK as reported by vegvesen.no.

Alpine og DSDs første prosjekt

Alpine Bau, an Austrian company with thousands of employees, is one of Europe's largest construction companies and has a pre-existing contract with Region Nord for the construction of Kåfjord bridge in Finnmark. DSD Brükenbau is a medium-sized firm specializing in steel bridge construction. This contract marks their first venture in Norway.

Oppstartsmøte med konsortiet

Project management recently had interaction and startup meetings with the consortium, and the initial impression is that of qualified professionals eager to begin work on Nesbrua. Alpine Bau is responsible for foundation work and concrete tasks, while DSD Brükenbau will handle the production and assembly of the steel case, which will be manufactured in China. The consortium has added two Norwegian engineers to the project leadership roles, including one as project manager and one as the HSE/QS manager.

Norsk grunnarbeid, utenlandsk stål

The firm plans to hire Norwegian companies for excavation and foundation works, while all concrete and steelworks will be carried out by foreign workers. The new Nesbrua will be a steel box bridge with a composite concrete deck, a three-span bridge with spans of 68 - 84 - 68 meters, totaling 220 meters in length and 9.0 meters in width between railings.
