Careers in construction: from formwork construction and engineering to site management
Ingeborg has a master's degree in engineering from the the NTNU in Trondheim and started as a project engineer at Implenia after graduating. She has now taken on responsibility as site manager for the bridge superstructure and is also in charge of the edge girders. The edge girder carriage will go into operation in January, and Ingeborg will be responsible for 10 employees working in two shifts.
"It is very exciting to be in charge of this work, which I helped to plan and which I am now able to implement. Taking on management tasks so early in my career is an incredible opportunity that I can build on," explains Ingeborg.
Different backgrounds - equal opportunities
Stian started his career as a formwork builder, but decided to develop his skills by studying at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences to further develop his skills. After working as a project engineer at Implenia, he now works as a site manager for the bridge substructure in Tangenvika. A large part of his work involves coordinating with subcontractors.
"My job is mainly to coordinate and supervise the work of Keller Geoteknikk and Dykkerteknikk as well as other subcontractors. With so much work taking place close together, close collaboration is crucial and it's really satisfying when everything goes according to plan," Stian emphasizes.
A key role in the project
The Tangenvika railroad bridge will be the longest railroad bridge in Norway and is an important part of the new InterCity extension on the Oslo-Hamar line. The construction of the bridge is taking place under difficult conditions and requires careful planning, technical expertise and interdisciplinary cooperation.
As those responsible for site management, Ingeborg and Stian play a key role in the ongoing work. Both emphasize that it is motivating to be involved in a project that is important both for Implenia and for society
The KS-2 Tangenvika project
The Tangenvika railroad bridge will be the longest bridge in Norway: once completed, it will span 1042 meters and connect Espa with the Tangen peninsula.
The KS-2 project also includes the day section north of the bridge, Furnesodden (1.8 km). In Furnesodden, to the east of the railroad line, a rigging and quay area will be established. A storage area for bulk goods will be set up to the west of the tracks. The railroad line passes a wildlife passage and continues through a steep rock excavation on both sides.
