NCC to remodel football arena in Hamar, Norway, for SEK 179 million

NCC Construction AS in Norway has been commissioned to remodel the Briskeby Gressbane football arena in Hamar, Norway. The contract is worth approximately SEK 179 million plus options and is part of a comprehensive upgrading of the facility. Following remodeling, the arena will have a 10,200-seat capacity.

This is the fourth major arena order in Norway that NCC has received in a short period of time. NCC has already completed the new Bislett Stadium and the new Fredrikstad Stadium, and is in the process of constructing the Fornebu Arena.

Work on the football arena in Hamar will be completed in three phases and will commence immediately after the summer. The construction period is estimated at one year.

The first phase, to which this contract pertains, comprises two new stands (north and west), a new clubhouse and a wardrobe facility.

NCC also has an option on the two following construction phases: firstly, the south stand, including housing, and, secondly, the east stand, including commercial premises.

The assignment will be registered among orders during the second quarter of 2007.
