in Narvik.<br \/>\nOne of the people who isn&#8217;t surprised that a solution to the challenges was found locally is the CEO of Visinor Rehab, Terje Feragen. &#8220;There is an extremely large and competent concrete industry in this region,&#8221; he claims. Visinor has had &#8211; and has projects across the country, and therefore has a good overview of the professional environment on a national level.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Not discovered<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>About what can be found in Narvik, he has no doubts:<br \/>\n&#8220;It is particularly strong. I&#8217;m referring to both consultants, entrepreneurs, and other professional environments,&#8221; he says.<br \/>\nAmong the latter are, not least, the University of Troms\u00f8 in Narvik and the research and innovation company NORUT.<br \/>\n&#8220;If we haven&#8217;t completely succeeded in bringing this out nationally, and also that northern Norwegian projects are assigned to companies foreign to the region. Can be explained by the fact that procurement offices in large, public businesses have their offices in Oslo.\u00a0And we don&#8217;t show up on their radar,&#8221; suggests Terje Feragen.<br \/>\nCompetence was in this case both discovered and recognized by SRBG after searching for good solutions for the casting work on the H\u00e5logaland bridge.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Airy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>So on Tuesday, a HeatWork aggregate was lifted almost 200 meters into the air so it could be used on the top of the bridge&#8217;s towers.<br \/>\nVitaljus Zubrickas and Nikola Gerber from Visinor Rehab were contracted to assist during this particularly airy endeavor.<br \/>\nSales Manager at HeatWork, Tommy Larsen, says this about what happened when they received a visit from a representative for the Chinese entrepreneur: &#8220;He had searched online for solutions to the challenges of concrete casting during the winter. There, he found assessments of our product. The surprise was considerate when he discovered that it was located in Narvik, just a short ways from where the bridge is bring constructed.&#8221;<br \/>\nAfter the representative received a presentation of the equipment, he made his decision. &#8220;He wanted to use it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Long experience<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;We therefore sent him to Visinor.\u00a0A company who has long experience with using the equipment. Among other things, in conjunction with mast foundations to the new power line from Ofoten to Balsfjord.&#8221;<br \/>\nTerje Feragen confirms Tommy Larsen&#8217;s statement that a lot of time can be saved by adding heat.<br \/>\nTommy Larsen describes how important temperature is in this way:<br \/>\n&#8220;I have a standard which I hold myself to. It basically states that it takes 55 days to achieve 75% casting of concrete if the temperature is minus one degree. If the temperature is 21 degrees, it only takes 8 days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Long break<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Terje Feragen adds: &#8220;The most important thing is to achieve a stable temperature in the casting. If it&#8217;s under negative 5 degrees, casting shouldn&#8217;t take place.\u00a0So they therefore risk having to wait until the spring if there weren&#8217;t methods to add heat.&#8221; And in this case, stable heat. &#8220;It is probably still more expensive to cast in the winter than in the summer.\u00a0But with the equipment that we&#8217;ve used in the foundations, we always know what both the internal and external temperatures are during the casting process. The &#8216;trick&#8217; is that sensors are cast into the concrete, which gives us total control over the entire process,&#8221; he explains.<br \/>\n&#8220;There are multiple ways to add heat, but if there is too much heat added locally, it can ruin the concrete,&#8221; he points out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/heatwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Betongarbeid-Halogalandsbrua-Fremover.pdf\">Download a PDF of Fremover<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chinese company constructing the H\u00e5logaland bridge performed an online search for solutions.
