The work mainly includes rock tunnels and shafts, rock above-ground, earthwork in the tunnels, concrete work, temporary installations, and temporary traffic diversions.

The project will focus on minimising climate impact and be conducted in accordance with the CEEQUAL environmental certification system. The goal for the customer is the level ‘Very good'. The CEEQUAL work will be integrated into design and production.
