Veidekke ASA: Signed contract for building shell for Munch Museum
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke Entreprenør has entered into a contract with the City of Oslo c/o
Kultur og Idrettsbygg Oslo KF to undertake the building shell contract for the
new Munch Museum at Bjørvika in Oslo. The value of the contract is NOK 200
million excluding VAT.
The new Munch Museum will be a landmark in Oslo where one will be able to
experience Norway's greatest artist of all time. The museum will comprise a 13
storey tower with seven exhibition halls, magazines, preservation facilities and
roof terraces, in addition to a three-storey podium with a lobby, shop, café,
classroom, library and multi-purpose hall. All art will be stored in the tower's
robust concrete structure with strict requirements towards indoor climate.
The City of Oslo has high environmental ambitions for the new Munch museum,
supported by Enova SF. The most important measures concern achieving passive
house level and a 50% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
"Through the demanding groundwork for the new Munch Museum, we have already
established good cooperation with Veidekke, and look forward to proceeding with
this in the next important stage for the building. Work with the new Munch
Museum in Bjørvika is a construction project that has attracted significant
domestic and international attention, so we are pleased to have a good partner
on board, who knows Bjørvika, and whom we already know," said CEO of Kultur- og
idrettsbygg, Eli Grimsby (KID) when the contract was signed on Friday.
"We are pleased to have won the contract, and are grateful for the confidence
placed in us. We have special expertise on concrete structures and environmental
projects, so this project is a good match. We know the area well, as since the
turn of the century we have had nine construction contracts in Bjørvika worth
around NOK 4 billion. We are on schedule with the groundwork for the museum, and
now we're looking forward to getting started with the building shell," said
Managing Director Dag Andresen of Veidekke Entreprenør when the contract was
signed.
Veidekke will ensure that at least two apprentices will be used for the entire
contract period in work related to this contract. Work on the building shell
will start in October 2016, and completion is scheduled for the end of 2017.
