As part of the works, nearly 200,000 tonnes of material will be excavated and sorted. The waste will then be either reused at the site or processed as waste and shifted to reception/landfill.

The project works will be carried out following the circular economy principle. The redevelopment works should strictly ensure minimal impact on the environment.

Veidekke Bygg Vest director Ingmar Austevoll said, “We are very pleased to sign a contract for this prestigious commission and appreciate the confidence placed in us.

“Veidekke has extensive expertise and experience from this type of work, as does our Belgian partner. We have also worked together on a comparable project at Valløy near Tønsberg.”

“In good cooperation with the Environment Agency in the City of Bergen we will ensure that Slettebakken is prepared for further development,” Austevoll added.

A Scandinavian company, Veidekke executes various types of construction and civil engineering projects.
