Cowi wins Oslo airport contract

Cowi is to design a 23,300m2 expansion at Oslo Airport to make room for the world’s largest passenger aircraft.

The non-Schengen area at Gardermoen in Norway will gain a new building, with Cowi leading the engineering aspects and Aas Jacobsen and Per Rasmussen as subcontractors. The team members were all previously part of the project design group for Oslo’s Terminal 2. The work takes Cowi into its sixth year of work at Gardermoen.

The expansion will take place at a time when capacity in the area is already used to the limit. One of the challenges in the assignment is to ensure that the building work is carried out without significant disruption to the existing operation of the facility, passenger flows or working conditions for the staff. The terminal is to be kept fully operational throughout the construction period.

The project is a natural extension of the T2 project but client Avinor stipulated that there should be much plainer areas with significantly lower building costs and more standardised solutions.
