21 February 2017Arthur and Anders Buchardt of AB Invest AS and contractor HENT AS have entered into a turnkey contract to build Mjøstårnet in Brumunddal, Norway. This will be, it is claimed, the world's tallest wooden building.
At the same time, HENT AS has entered into a contract with Scandinavian industrial group Moelven Limtre AS. The company in Moelv will be the turnkey subcontractor and will supply glulam, Kerto and solid wood structures for the tower structure and swimming hall in the project.
Marketing and development director Knut Alstad of HENT AS says that the project is the result of a development collaboration between AB Invest AS as client, HENT AS as project developer and turnkey contractor, Voll Arkitekter AS and Moelven Limtre AS.
Mjøstårnet's overall size will be around 15,000m2, and will span 18 storeys and include apartments, a hotel, offices, a restaurant and associated common areas. The total height will be more than 80m.
Work at the building site is imminent.
