Transport tunnel made of environmentally friendly material at Bergen's new Proton Center

A project with high quality demands

In 2024, the new Proton Center will be ready at Bergen University Hospital, a building that can offer cancer patients across the country a new and more gentle treatment. In collaboration with Veidekke AS, Foamrox has installed a transport tunnel that will transport patients between Haukeland University Hospital and the Proton Center; a project that places high demands on quality.

The new Proton Center is scheduled to be completed in 2024.

Halving CO2 emissions

Foamrox solutions, which are an environmentally friendly alternative to concrete, are not only EI60 approved, but are also light in weight, making them easy to install. With ready-made elements mounted on a rail system, it has been quick and easy to get the 225m long tunnel in place.

Foamrox materials weigh over 90% less than the concrete alternative, making the solution HSE-friendly. In addition, you save over 50% on CO2 emissions compared to traditional concrete solutions. The tunnel has been installed manually, without the help of heavy machinery, and the lightweight panels are easy to transport to the installation site.

Sees the potential in future projects

Project manager at Veidekke, Jim D. Skålevik, says he is very satisfied with the delivery. Both product quality and workmanship are in accordance with the agreement and he sees the potential for using the Foamrox product in future projects as well.

When the project started I was not familiar with the Foamrox product. Foamrox has since the beginning carried out the project very smoothly. Good communication, environmentally friendly materials and time saved are all important success factors.Jim D. Skålevik, project manager at Veidekke

We at Foamrox thank Veidekke for the assignment and look forward to new, future collaborations.
