The project's objective
The new 420 kV power line from Mongstad - Kollsnes will contribute to a secure future power supply to the Bergen area and Kollsnes. Together with the power line Mongstad - Modalen, they will secure the supply to residents, businesses and industry in and around Bergen.
Environmental issues
The client is responsible for route selection, impact assessment, building application and environmental and transport plan. This describes, among other things, base sites, drum and winch sites, construction roads, warehouses and pre-installation sites, as well as accessibility and helicopter transport of crew and material.
In the development, there should be as few interventions in the environment as possible. Material consumption for standardized masts and foundations in steel and concrete is optimized in the design process using specially developed macros at EFLA.
Service Components
EFLA's role
EFLA designed all the structures, foundations, conductor selection and specification, line hardware and insulation for the project. In addition, EFLA assisted BKK with the preparation of tender documents, control of FAT (factory acceptance tests) for the production of steel towers, conductors and hardware and provided technical support for BKK during the construction phase.
"We at BKK are very pleased with the work that EFLA has done for us. They have designed / dimensioned the entire power line, assisted us in preparing tender documents, provided advice during the construction period and participated in factory acceptance tests such as the control of all materials for the power line construction.
All our questions, suggestions for changes and the like have been quickly and well answered by EFLA."
