AF Gruppen has signed a contract with Statsbygg to provide piping and plumbing
works for the Life Sciences building. The contract was signed after 4.5 years of
interaction and is valued based on a target price of NOK 680 million, excluding
VAT. The original award of the turnkey contract with interaction was announced
to the stock exchange on 20 December 2018.
Contract K301 Plumbing Works is a turnkey contract that covers sanitation,
heating, fire extinguishing, gas and compressed air, process and comfort
cooling. The contract is the largest so far for AF Gruppen's energy business.
The new Life Sciences Building is Statsbygg's biggest current construction
project and is due for completion in 2026. The 97,500 square metre building will
house 1,500 students and 1,000 employees at the University of Oslo, 650
employees at Oslo University Hospital, as well as businesses and other partners.
"The parties have carried out a thorough interaction phase since 2019, where we
together have identified cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions. The building
will tie the different sciences closer together, and this means that the
delivery has high demands to environmental and climate qualities. We're looking
forward to contributing to create a common arena for leading university and
hospital communities within life sciences in Norway," says Amund Tøftum, CEO of
AF Gruppen.
