Introduction 1.1 General information about the project The 22 km long Follo Line Project includes a new double track line between Oslo Central Station and the public transport hub at Ski. The project includes a 19.5 km railway tunnel (twin bore), extensive works at Oslo Central Station, construction of a new station at Ski and necessary realignment of the existing Østfold Line (on the approach to Oslo Central Station with a new tunnel and between the new Ski station and the tunnel). The Follo Line will be built for speed up to 250 km/hr. The Follo Line Project is split into four EPC contracts: Contract for work in connection with the Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) Contract for TBM driving of the twin Follo Line tunnels Contract for conventional driving of tunnels in Ekebergåsen (the Ekeberg Hill). Contract for the new Ski Station and the surface section from Ski to Langhus. The scheduled start of construction for the project is mid 2014 and completion is scheduled in 2020. Preparatory works at Oslo Central Station and close to Ski Station and preparation of rig areas and access tunnels at Åsland (about midway between Oslo Central Station and Ski Station), and in Klypen (close to Oslo Central Station) is scheduled to commence in 2013. In the following description “the Company” shall mean the Norwegian Railroad Authority/Follo Line Project, and “the Contract” shall mean the contract for which this Prequalification Questionnaire applies. Further information about the project is available here: http://www.jernbaneverket.no/en/startpage1/Projects/New-double-track-Oslo-Ski/ 1.2 Information about this contract 1.2.1 Scope of work description The Contract comprises all conventional tunnels driving scope (Drill & Blast) in the Follo Line Project, i.e. the Inbound Østfold Line (IØL), inner part of the twin Follo Line tunnels, a number of crossings with existing tunnels and roads and the 3-Track tunnel at the interface with the EPC contract for modification work at the Oslo S Station.

  • R E V I T a L I Z I N G N Y G Å R D F a C T O
    R E V I T A L I Z I N G N Y G Å R D F A C T O R Y A makerspace in Oslo Abstract Mari Burheim Supervisor: Bente Kleven Oslo School of Architecture and Design Fall 2020 THESIS My thesis is to transform an old industry building into a space for our current production habits. The transformation will follow the building’s premises. BACKGROUND Oslo, capital of Norway, has gradually expanded along its rivers and valleys since its foundation in 1048. When industry was introduced, the population growth exploded due to the need for labor. Most factories were placed along rivers for power utilization, and later along railways for accessibility. This was the best option until electricity was introduced. Throughout the last century, factories started to disappear from the city. This has a two-sided explanation. First, large scale industry was outsourced to low-cost economies. This is a result of expensive labor in Norway, and cheap material cost and shipping. Second, smaller manufacturing jobs moved to the periphery. This was due to easier mobility (railways, highways) and lower rent. Today, Oslo city is largely a big housing estate, scattered with cafés and culture institutions. The producing city has become the recreational city. I would like to reintroduce production into the city. SITE AND STRUCTURE During my pre-diploma I mapped the city development from industrialization and until today. I searched for an interesting site and structure, one that does not reach its full potential today. I wanted to work with transformation, but I did not know at which site or to which program.

  • The Rivers and Landscapes of Oslo
    THE MUNICIPALITY OF OSLO APPLICATION FOR CANDIDACY TO THE LANDSCAPE AWARD OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE 2016-2017 THE RIVERS AND LANDSCAPES OF OSLO Oslo's landscape is rich and varied – its topography, geology as well as biology. The fjord and water form the base of the landscape, which is surrounded by an amphitheatre and a valley (The Grorud Valley). Here, the city has grown and developed through a thousand years. A continuous belt of forested hills and ridges – the so-called “Marka” – encircles the city, providing a green and lush backdrop. Significant height differences between the forest and the fjord, combined with a climate that provides regular rainfall, has given rise to 10 rivers, which are considered the main waterways of Oslo. These urban waterways have largely defined, shaped and structured the development of the Norwegian capital, and has given the city its character and identity. However, the significance and valuation of the city’s rivers has varied through history. During the last century, several sections of the rivers were culverted, in an attempt to put a lid on and rise above the natural landscape. During the past 20-30 years, however, this attitude has changed dramatically, as the appreciation of the value and importance of the city’s rivers flowing openly and freely through the cityscape has grown. Today, when developing the city, Oslo has a clear ambition and a goal to emerge as the a blue and green city between the fjord and the forest, where living rivers form a city web, binding everything together into an organic, logical, functional and attractive whole.
