Rejlers heads electrical and automation design for Norway’s longest railway bridge
The railway bridge will be slightly more than one kilometre in length and high demands have been placed on the environment and sustainability to ensure the least possible impact on the environment in and around Mjøsa. The project will be environmentally certified according to BREEAM Infrastructure by Norconsult, which is the main consultant. Rejlers Norway will plan the electrical and automation facilities in the deck and shipping lane below.
– We are delighted to have been selected to provide our services and advice in connection with the construction of the longest railway bridge in Norway. We will work together with Implenia and Norconsult to ensure that this project is a true success that delivers more eco-friendly freight traffic and reduces travel time between Oslo and Hamar, says Ragnar Holtan, CEO of Rejlers consultancy division Omega Holtan.
The dualling of the line between Hamar and Oslo will allow trains to run at speeds of up to 250 km/h. This means additional departures, shorter journey times and enhanced freight capacity. The project is scheduled for completion in 2027.
