- The temporary power solutions from Infratek are the nerves and blood vessels in this development project. Infratek provides solutions for three construction stages of the project, which covers a total of five construction sites, says development manager Peter Odlang in Sørenga Development, who is very pleased with the delivery from Infratek.

- The temporary power department has gained an excellent reputation with us, and we have a good relationship with the project manager at Infratek, Odlang says.

Oslo's new district
The Sørenga development project is part of the renewal in Bjørvika, where the Opera House and the BarCode buildings are located. Infratek set up a 1000 kVA station and more cabinets around the Sørenga pier.

- It takes a lot of planning to provide power to such a complex project like this, and we have encountered some challenges along the way. Among other things, a caterpillar cut a power line, and we had some challenges with connecting to the mains. But it was resolved and Infratek got the job done, Odlang says.

About Sørenga Utvikling
Sørenga Development KS builds about 800 homes at the Sørenga pier in Oslo. The company is owned by the housing association Usbl, Backe Group, Oslo Areal, Urbanium and some investors. The development emphasizes architecture, environmental and structural engineering quality. Four different architectural offices have participated in the development of the project. In addition to approx. 72,500 sqm residential, the area will have approx. 500 sqm commercial space, 600 underground parking spaces, and two kindergartens. The entire area will be completed during 2016.

- The lines we build is in total 7.5 km, says Erik Olsen-Ruud of Infratek.

Together with his colleagues Peter Haugland, Hågen Jellum and Arnfinn Bredesen he is bulding lines to give Sørum municipality a better power supply with the 22 kV distribution grid lines.

- In the project we have transported new poles, stones forfoundations, power lines and other materials on the special vehicle we use for such jobs. There was a lot of mud when we worked in the fall, but it was a little easier when it got colder at night, says Olsen-Ruud.

The solution involves several types of quick chargers at every charging point so that it is possible to charge all electric cars – irrespective of make.

- In this contract, we have the total responsibility, and this means high demands for service, availability and quality, says Leif Andersson, business developer for railways at Infratek.

The agreement was extended in 2012 and lasts until 2016.

Operation and maintenance contract with functional responsibility for engineering structures, tracks, electrical/aerial lines, signals and telecommunications. Telecommunications also covers passenger information systems (PIS), alarm supervision (SCADA), branch exchanges (PABX), closed-circuit television (CCTV), etc.

- We have had a long standing and close cooperation with Infratek, and we have had a common goal of being Sweden’s most accurate train operator. Arlanda Express has now kept this position for 10 years, says Per Thorstenson, CEO at A-train.

On commission from Stokab, we were involved in the construction of the largest open fibre network in Europe. The assignment involved contacting property owners to offer connection, project planning the network structure, and performing the actual channelisation and fibre work.
