Implenia benefits from good order intake in Norway
Dietlikon, 16 July 2013 – Implenia was recently asked by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to build a new bridge at Heggedal station near Oslo. The project is worth around CHF 23 million and consists of a bridge over the rail tracks, a new 800 metre stretch of road, a 50 meter pedestrian and bicycle bridge with a 130 meter access ramp and a 220 metre long supporting wall. The work will begin in August 2013 and should be completed by October 2015. Together with several smaller projects it has secured – including the Spikerbukta Bridge in Sarpsborg, the Frøland Bridge near Tysse and foundation engineering work for a biogas tank near Oslo – Implenia was able to generate an order intake totalling around CHF 32 million. These successful acquisitions are going to help achieve the company’s ambitious growth objectives in Norway.
