Fugro completed a Piping Research Project in Cooperation with the Friesland Water Authority and Deltares
The research investigated the erosion of tidal sand in protective sea-dikes along the Wadden Sea coast in the Dutch province of Friesland and represents a significant development in the Dutch Flood Protection Programme. Water seeping through the dike has the potential to develop tiny channels (piping) that wash sand away and could cause the dike to fail. This critical research aims to identify conditions that influence this mode of dike failure, particularly during periods of high water.

Skanska to upgrade Gråsjø and Trollheim Hydro Electric Power Plant Dams in Norway
Skanska signed a contract with Statkraft Energi AS for the refurbishment and upgrade of four dams and one flood gate. The contract is worth NOK 508 M, about SEK 485 M, which will be included in the Nordic order bookings for the third quarter 2020.
The dams serve as reservoirs for Gråsjø and Trollheim hydro electric power plants in Surnadal and Rindal municipalities in Norway. The dams at Gråsjø are water reservoirs for the power plant with the same name, while the dam at Follsjø provides water for Trollheim power plant. The dams need to be refurbished and upgraded to meet modern day standards.
The construction work is expected to start in Q1 2021 and be completed by September 1st 2025. Both power plants are owned and operated by Statkraft Energi AS.
Skanska is one of the leading development and construction companies in the Nordics, with operations in building construction and civil engineering in Sweden, Norway and Finland, and developing residential and commercial property projects in select home markets. The commercial development stream is also active in Denmark. Skanska had sales of about SEK 70 billion and more than 15,200 employees in its Nordic operations during 2019.

Tried and Tested Robbins TBM and Conveyor complete Ohio River Tunnel
A 6.5 km (4 mi) long tunnel for wastewater storage below Louisville, Kentucky, USA has more to it than meets the eye. “At first glance, this seems like a straightforward project, but it turned out to be much more challenging,” said Shemek Oginski, Project Manager for the contractor, a joint venture of Shea/Traylor. The 6.7 m (22 ft) diameter Robbins Main Beam TBM and conveyor system had to cope with overstress in the crown that resulted in significant rock fallout in seven different areas, as well as methane gas in the tunnel. By the machine’s breakthrough on September 22, 2020, the crew had much to celebrate.
