Rock Excavation and Blasting Works

Handling Complex Rock Stabilisation Tasks

An example of our expertise in rock excavation and controlled blasting is our response to the rockfall over the E18 at Bommestad. When the incident occurred, our machinery was already operating just a short distance away at the EK3 Farriseidet project. This enabled us to immediately support the Norwegian Public Roads Administration with stabilisation and clean‑up operations.

To secure the remaining open traffic lane, a container barrier wall was established while blasting works were carried out as part of the stabilisation process.

The container‑wall barrier solution is now used in several other projects for the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. Our rapid response to the Bommestad rockfall demonstrates our ability to manage critical and unexpected situations safely and efficiently.

Safety and Precision in Rock Cutting

The experience gained from the Bommestad incident proved invaluable when we were tasked with establishing a 30‑metre‑high rock cut only six metres from active railway tracks at the Bollerud cutting, where train traffic continued without interruption.

This project stands as a strong example of safe and collaborative planning in practice.
