“We are proud to enter into this agreement with Porsgrunn municipality to build a nursing home and emergency clinic, and we are very grateful for the assignment. In recent years, we have developed strong expertise in constructing healthcare facilities, and this project fits well into our portfolio of public projects,” says Lars N. Hjertås, District Manager at Veidekke Building Vestfold and Telemark.
The new facility will cover a gross area of 7,650 m² across four floors and a basement. It will include 64 new resident rooms with various functions for Mule nursing home, as well as a new emergency clinic for residents of both Porsgrunn and Bamble. The building will be connected to the existing nursing home, which will remain fully operational throughout the construction period. The project will be certified under BREEAM-NOR “Very Good”, ensuring high environmental standards.
“Veidekke won the competition based on both price and quality, and Porsgrunn municipality looks forward to collaborating with Veidekke on this exciting project,” says Ole Henrik Lia, Property Manager at Porsgrunn municipality.
Concrete and carpentry work will be carried out by Veidekke’s local skilled workers and apprentices, supporting employment and skills development in the region. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2026, with completion planned for the third quarter of 2027.
The assignment will be included in Veidekke’s order backlog for the fourth quarter of 2026.
