Nordec to deliver structural frame for Oslo's 27-storey office tower project
Nordec has been selected for the structural framing of the Spektrumkvarteret project, a significant development in central Oslo, Norway, which includes a 27-storey office tower and a congress building. The contract involves the design, manufacture, and installation of a prefabricated steel-concrete structure. The Spektrumkvarteret project, set at Sonja Henies plass, is being developed by HENT, with LPO as the architect. Nordec's contract encompasses the creation of 1,450m² of concrete walls for the congress building and 30,000m² of flooring throughout the complex, combining hollow-core alongside slabs. The project's engineering highlights include the use of composite columns, welded beams, and a cantilever section that extends over the street. Installation work is scheduled to commence in February 2026, with a completion target set for October 2026. Nordec senior vice-president Minna Kuusela-Opas said: 'We would like to thank our customer for the trust we have received. We are happy that we can be involved in implementing this important project in such a central location in the city. "This project offers us an opportunity to show our expertise, and we are committed to doing our very best to achieve the goals set for the project. We look forward to working closely with the entire project team to ensure success.' With over four decades of experience, Nordec is a provider of frame structures for buildings, facades, and steel bridges in the Nordic countries. In April 2025, the company won a contract for the Lastaustie 7 project in Jyväskylä, Finland. Additionally, a month earlier, Nordec was chosen by NCC, a Nordic construction company, to design and construct the frame and envelope structures for a new train depot in Stockholm, Sweden. "Nordec to deliver structural frame for Oslo's 27-storey office tower project" was originally created and published by World Construction Network, a GlobalData owned brand.
