The building Veidekke has been commissioned to erect will accommodate a complete facility for the handling and supply of aviation fuel. Some of the work will be carried out in collaboration with Veidekke's Fosen subsidiary Tore Løkke AS, which has completed several assignments in connection with the development and upgrade of the defense airbase at Ørland.
Reflecting a Defence Estates Agency emphasis when selecting contractors, the contract stipulates that five percent of the work be performed by apprentices, a priority which is highly valued by Veidekke. With preparations already ongoing, construction is expected to begin in early February. The entire facility will be completed by summer 2021.
