Bane NOR has appointed NRC Norge AS, a company wholly owned by NRC Group ASA, to
a contract for the electrification of Trønder- and Meråkerbanen.
The contract is valued at approximately NOK 760 million. The work will commence
in October 2021, and the project is scheduled for completion in November 2024.
The contract includes the electrification of the railway connection between
Trondheim and Stjørdal, Stavne and Leangerbanen, Hell and Storlien. This is the
first time since 1970 that an extended stretch of railway in Norway will be
electrified and in total 120 km of railway will be electrified. The project will
increase railway transport volumes, both in terms of passenger and freight
traffic, as well as faster and better railway freight between Norway and Sweden.
"This is an important win for NRC Group and confirms our competitiveness within
major rail constructions. In this project, we will work closely with NRC Group
Sweden to utilise the experience and knowledge we have within the group. We have
an experienced team and is committed to deliver sustainable solutions for Bane
NOR", says Henning Olsen, CEO i NRC Group.
