Trench support works

Norway

Oslo

Oslo Water and Sewage Works are currently on one of the Norway’s biggest water and wastewater projects, named Midgård Serpent. New drain and sewer line is being constructed trough the City using both, trenching and tunneling methods. Sheet piles are used to support trench when two lines each 2 metres in diameter are buried to the ground. The retaining walls are made of 8 to 10 meter long double sheet piles AZ-12-770.

The project includes trenching in very confined areas between buildings and other facilities setting specific requirement for sheet pile driving plant. Norwegian construction company, Marthinsen & Duvholt, decided to go for Movax SP50F with Automatic operating system in combination with short radius excavator. The contractor has reported to be very satisfied with the quality and efficiency of the piling with the Movax Side Grip.

The Midgård Serpent is an important pipe line winding like a serpent through the city of Oslo. This 1.3 billion Norwegian krone project is aiming to modernize inner city´s wastewater system. A main environmental issue is to improve the quality of the water in the inner harbor basin and the Oslo fjord. The works are scheduled to be ready in 2014.
