Veidekke develops infrastructure on Svalbard
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Store Norske Spitsbergen Kullkompani AS has awarded a contract to Veidekke
Entreprenør AS for developing the infrastructure of the Lunckefjell project on
Svalbard. This will be a turnkey contract with a value of NOK 196 million,
excluding VAT and options.
Store Norske Spitsbergen Grubekompani AS is planning to develop their coal
mining operations in Svea on Svalbard island. The first phase of their
development plans involves opening a new mine in Mt. Lunckefjell. This coal mine
will be a natural continuation of present day mining operations in Svea Nord.
The contract work consists primarily of a 2.8 km road running across the
Marthabreen glacier, filling materials for pithead installations, tunnel
construction, water and sewerage systems, electricity supplies and pithead
installations (buildings and other structures).
Lunckefjell is located to the north-east of Svea Nord and contains 8.2 millions
of saleable coal.
Store Norske Spitsbergen Grubekompani are planning to commence preparatory
development work on the Lunckefjell mine on 1 September 2013. This means that
all the infrastructure installations included in the turnkey contract will
primarily be built during 2012 and completed during summer of 2013.
