Despite the presence of quick clay in the ground and the need for lime-cement stabilization, Veidekke and geotechnical consultant Norges Geotekniske Institutt significantly reduced both costs and greenhouse gas emissions for a new tunnel project on the Vestfold Line. Veidekke will carry these lessons into future projects.
Dive into the fascinating world of lunar geotechnical engineering with this 8-minute video from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI).
This August, NGI will once again participate in Arendalsuka, Norway’s largest political gathering. It is a place where research, politics, business, and civil society come together.
Artificial intelligence is changing how we build tunnels. We can now predict hazardous rock conditions before we encounter them, leading to safer tunnels, lower costs, reduced environmental impact, and better decision-making underground.
Resilient Transport System (ResiTrans) is a new research centre aiming to strengthen the resilience of Norway’s transport system. The project has received funding from the Research Council of Norway and is led by NGI in collaboration with leading research institutions and key public sector stakeholders.
The Research Council of Norway has selected the institutions that will be designated as national research centres for artificial intelligence (AI). One of these centres is TRUST. The core of the centre will be located in Oslo Science City, including NGI.
NGI will be strongly represented at the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG), taking place in Nantes, France this year.
