Impressive site and construction methodology (ILM with deck segments made locally at site factory ) 👍🏻

Today Emma Viklund and I visited Skanska UKs Project National Highways A428, a 10 mile dual lane motorway between the Black Cat 🐈⬛ roundabout in Bedfordshire and the Caxton Gibbet roundabout in Cambridgeshire. Impressed by the planning and spirit at the site. Some key highlights from our visit: 💹 Digital Solutions: The project leverages innovative digital tools through planning and execution to deliver optmized performance and a digital twin. 👷 Enhanced Safety: By diverting traffic from the existing A428, the project will improve safety at junctions, side roads, and private entrances. 🔝Economic Growth: The new motorway will promote job and housing growth while enhancing connections between people and workplaces. 🚗 Community Benefits: The project will improve for equestrians, cyclists, pedestrians, and nearby communities. 🍃 Sustainability: Adding ecological perspective and water treatment solutions with high ambitions. Expected to open in 2027, this project promises to transform the region and #buildforabettersociety Let’s drive the future of infrastructure together and create positive change! 🌟 Thanks for great discussions and insights Adam Crossley Jaak van der Werff David Mason and the project lead on site Penny, Sarah, Rebecca, Helen, Sam, Christos and Kate. #skanskainnovation #cementation #A428 #infrastructure #roadproject #digitization #safety

#Norwegian state #airport operator Avinor has chosen #Swedish #construction group Ratos to #build a #greenfield airport inside the Arctic Circle. Bodø Airport will be built by its HENT AS subsidiary, which will work with Avinor on the scheme’s #design and #cost specification, after which the job will be carried out as a #turnkey contract. The $720m airport, which is located about a kilometre south of the one it is replacing, will have a 25,000-sq-m of #terminal and operational buildings. When it enters service in 2029, it will be able to handle up to 2.3 million passengers a year. Businesses and people in the region had lobbied the Norwegian government for years to fund a new airport to replace Mo i Rana in Nordland county because its runway was too small for jets to land. It said it would if local businesses raised $17m toward its cost. HENT beat two other teams to the $228m #contract. The company’s chief executive, Jan K. Jahren, said: “The entire bid #process was long and thorough. We used the full breadth of the company’s expertise, together with several external partners. “The #teamwork behind our responses to the award criteria, including price, understanding of the task and #project organisation, meant that we won out over the competition. This is important recognition for all of HENT and our partners.” In April, another Swedish builder, Peab, was picked to build the airport’s runway, taxiways and parking spaces (see further reading). As well as the airport, Avinor plans a new business district to cement Bodø’s role as an #aviation city and hub for connecting north and south #Norway.

Time to replace one of the oldest submerged tunnels in the world with a brand new one 👌 With the severe weather changes due to global warming, infrastructure needs to be upgraded in time to be able to withstand the new environmental conditions.

How cool! The implementation of these 60 hour rail occupation windows has also saved the project a cheeky ~57 tonnes of CO2 through reduced plant and equipment days for occupation activities 🌱 Great work Inland Rail & McConnell Dowell on the delivery and Aurecon on the bridge designs! #sustainableinfrastructure

Farnborough North Station is en route to being accessible for all passengers! As a business focussed on #BringingPeopleTogether and #ConnectingCommunities Octavius are making great progress on the Farnborough North Station Access for All project. The Access for All programme, supported by Network Rail in partnership with the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and local councils, seeks to remove obstacles and provide an accessible route into stations and between platforms. Through this important work at Farnborough Station Octavius are helping to create a better-connected local community, enabling greater and fairer access to work and leisure opportunities. Outcomes that will directly support local economic growth and reduce carbon emissions by providing people with a better choice and use public transport. Recent project milestones include the installation of the single span footbridge, stairs, landings, and link structures for Network Rail all completed on schedule and without accident or incident.
