The Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre Area B – Groundwork
The ship model tank at NTNU is a key facility in the marine engineering research environment in Trondheim. In this project, we carried out the groundwork for constructing a new test pool for marine vessels. Once the building itself is completed, it will house a highly specialized professional environment.

Research Hub
Ocean Space Center Fløy B was a large-scale project that included extensive demolition and groundwork at the Ocean Research Laboratories of SINTEF and NTNU at Tyholt in Trondheim.
The site’s location placed strict requirements on noise reduction and logistics regarding mass transport from the construction site. The project also included the development of common infrastructure for the facility, including district heating, water, and sewage systems.
