“This is an excellent assignment for us. It allows us to combine our traditional civil engineering expertise with the specialist competence of our Coastal Environment division, which focuses on marine works and the construction of submarine pipeline systems. We also appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this important project, which will help to restore and protect the Oslofjord,” says Magnar Kristiansen, Managing Director of Leif Grimsrud AS.
The assignment includes installing a wastewater pipeline from Brevik via Kambo to the Fuglevik treatment plant. The combined sea and land pipeline will run through the Moss Sound, cross existing infrastructure between Moss and Jeløy, and continue through Værlebukta to Fuglevik. An additional outfall pipeline will be installed from the existing outfall chamber on the beach at Fuglevik out to a depth of 50 metres. Municipal pipelines located along the route of the transfer pipeline will be rerouted or re-established in the same corridor.
The transfer system is part of the “Cleaner Oslofjord” initiative, which aims to provide a significant environmental boost for the fjord and ensure improved water quality for future generations. Wastewater will be directed to the new, modern treatment plant at Fuglevik. Once operational, it will remove 1.5 billion litres of wastewater from the Moss Sound.
Construction is commencing these days and is scheduled for completion in summer 2028. Read more about the project here.
The contract is included in Veidekke’s order book for the fourth quarter of 2025.
