It is the grave church of St. Olav, the patron Saint of Norway and has now become one of Europe’s major historical pilgrim destinations. Nidaros Cathedral is also where coronations and royal blessings take place. The cathedral is mainly built in soapstone. It is located on the foundations of former churches, and the oldest standing parts of the church, the transepts, are from about 1160-70. The church is rebuilt with brick vaults over the choir and western nave, and across the archways under the triforium. The copper-covered roof is carried by steel structures with the exception of the transepts, the chapter house and the extended chapels in the transepts which all have pure wood structures in the roof.

  • Case Study: Providing Orkdal Municipality in Norway a Unified Bas Interface
    CASE STUDY: PROVIDING ORKDAL MUNICIPALITY IN NORWAY A UNIFIED BAS INTERFACE METASYS INTEGRATION WITH S-E SMARTSTRUXURE AND BACNET: N2 ROUTER ABOUT THE CUSTOMER Schneider Electric Norway had a very successful project last year. Using the value proposition of the S4 Open:BACnet- N2 Router, and the case study created for that earlier project, they leveraged their success to win another energy performance contracting project for the public buildings, schools, and nursing homes within the Orkdal municipality. Orkdal municipality in Sør-Trøndelag County, 40 km from Norway’s 3rd largest city Trondheim, has a population of 11,906 people. Orkdal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 . On 1 July 1920, the port of Orkanger (population: 1,715) and the southern district of Orkland (population: 1,760) were separated from Orkdal to form separate municipalities. On 1 January 1963, the municipalities of Orkanger, Orkland, and Geistadt were merged with Orkdal to form a new, larger municipality of Orkdal. Joran Bugten, Service Engineer working on the project reported, “After the first one, this project became a lot easier. I could use my experience on this, and we solved it with more efficiency, less working hours also.” Project Requirements A primary requirement was to deliver a uniform Building Management System for all the public buildings in the municipality in order to improve operational efficiency through uniform training and procedures for all municipal buildings. Consistency and ease of operation help generate energy savings - which was the primary goal for the overall project. Automation and energy management and monitoring technology, along with the requisite training and support services, were required to maximize energy savings Two of the municipality’s buildings contained legacy JCI Metasys® systems and were included in this project phase.

  • Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion
    Numen 67 (2020) 508–536 brill.com/nu How to Be a Pilgrim: Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion Dirk Johannsen Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway [email protected] Ane Ohrvik Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway [email protected] Abstract The Norwegian St. Olav Ways are currently the largest Northern European project re- institutionalizing pilgrimage as cultural heritage, providing a new framework for ver- nacular religious practices to a wide audience. In this article we approach the current pilgrimage revival in Northern Europe as part of a trend toward a heritagization of religion that allows new religious self-understandings to emerge. We analyze pilgrim guidebooks to the St. Olav Ways with regard to their narrative scripts, detailing how they can create expectations, inform the pilgrims’ conduct, and direct their attention toward a history that translates into a heritage. Based on a corpus of published pilgrim journals and diaries, we argue that the guidebooks instruct a process of interpretive drift, which influence the pilgrims toward embracing and embodying a new role with- in the religious field. The guidebooks invite the pilgrims to take on the role of heirs to a medieval European tradition.

  • Tectonic Features of an Area N.E. of Hegra, Nord-Trøndelag, and Their Regional Significance — Preliminary Notes by David Roberts
    Tectonic Features of an Area N.E. of Hegra, Nord-Trøndelag, and their regional Significance — Preliminary Notes By David Roberts Abstract Following brief notes on the low-grade metasediments occurring in an area near Hegra, 50 km east of Trondheim, the types of structures associated with three episodes of deformation of main Caledonian (Silurian) age are described. An outline of the suggested major stmctural picture is then presented. In this the principal structure is seen as a WNW-directed fold-nappe developed from the inverted western limb of the central Stjørdalen Anticline. A major eastlward closing recumbent syncline underlies this nappe-like structure. These initial structures were then deformed by at least twofur ther folding episodes. In conclusion, comparisons are noted between the ultimate fold pattern, the suggested evolution of these folds and H. Ramberg's experimentally produced orogenic structures. Introduction A survey of this particular area, situated north of the valley of Stjørdalen, east from Trondheim, was begun during the 1965 field-season and progressed during parts of the summers of 1966 and 1967 in conjunction with a mapping programme led by Statsgeolog Fr. Chr. Wolff further east in this same seg ment of the Central Norwegian Caledonides. Further geological mapping is contemplated, the aim being to eventually complete the 1 : 100,000 sheet 'Stjørdal' (rectangle 47 C). In view of the time factor involved in the comple tion of this work, and the renewed interest being devoted to the geological problems of the Trondheim region (Peacey 1964, Oftedahl 1964, Wolff 1964 and 1967, Torske 1965, Siedlecka 1967, Ramberg 1967), some notes on the tectonics of the Hegra area would seem appropriate at this stage.

  • Competitiveness of Train and Airport Express Bus Between the City of Trondheim and Trondheim Airport, Værnes

Ryeng (main supervisor), Trude Tørset (co-supervisor) Other external professional contacts: Erlend Dysvik (NSB), Ida Rossvoll Hanssen (NSB) Abstract: In order to develop a better transportation corridor between the city of Trondheim and the town of Steinkjer in Sør- Trøndelag county, Norway a number of infrastructure investments will be made. Among them a double track railway will be built between Trondheim Central Station and Trondheim Airport, Værnes. The new railway infrastructure between the city center and the airport together with enhanced NSB’s (Norwegian State Railways’) service is going to improve the ground access at Værnes Airport significantly, even though two major airport express bus services are well established in the city. The goal of this study was, thus, to examine how big market share of the airport ground access will the new train service have on the route the city of Trondheim-Værnes Airport compared to the airport express buses. The investigated hypothesis was, if the train service would actually have such big market as NSB’s forecast predicts.

His reign was marked by aggressive military campaigns and conquest, particularly in the Norse-dominated parts of the British Isles, where he extended his rule to the Kingdom of the Isles and Dublin. His daughter, Ragnhild, was born in 1090. As the only son of King Olaf Kyrre, Magnus was proclaimed king in southeastern Norway shortly after his father's death in 1093. In the north, his claim was contested by his cousin, Haakon Magnusson (son of King Magnus Haraldsson), and the two co-ruled uneasily until Haakon's death in 1095.
