Reported scope and milestone
Veidekke: Tensio awarded Veidekke a design-build contract for a new transformer substation in Klæbu, announced on 23 April 2026.
Engineering interpretation
The design-build contract is worth approximately NOK 150 million excluding VAT under an existing eight-year framework agreement. Tensio owns and operates the regional grid; the new station is intended to strengthen local supply and capacity.
Delivery responsibilities
The reported construction package defines the contractor’s delivery responsibilities. Civil works, building services, installation and commissioning may sit with different contractors or joint-venture partners. The full project budget is distinct from an individual contractor’s award. Contract award, site mobilization, practical completion and operation are separate milestones; planned dates and capacity remain prospective until the owner confirms delivery. The source-defined scope therefore matters when comparing a civil contractor, a construction manager and an integrated design-and-build provider.
