Veidekke ASA: To build terminal for Posten Norge and Bring in Narvik
Veidekke Entreprenør has won a contract to build yet another logistics terminal for Posten Norge and Bring, this time in Bjerkvik just north of Narvik. The value of the contract is NOK 100 million excluding VAT.
The logistics terminal will be part of Posten Norge's network of terminals for the handling of mail, parcels and freight. The project in Bjerkvik comprises a building 6,100 m2 in size and approx. 24,000 m2 outdoor areas. The building work primarily concerns production and administration space.
"This is an important project for Veidekke in northern Norway. The fact that Posten Norge once again has chosen Veidekke as contractor to build one of its new terminals is a vote of confidence that we are both grateful for and proud of," says Ronny Robertsen, district manager for Veidekke Entreprenør in northern Norway.
"The transfer of experience in Veidekke from previous deliveries to Posten Norge has been important for us in the tender process. Additionally, over time Veidekke in northern Norway has developed expertise that is well-suited to this type of project. We look forward to working with the client and our partners in a way that involves everyone in the planning and execution of the project," Robertsen concludes.
Construction will start in the end of April, and is to be be completed in Q1 in 2017.
