The contract (E12) is part of the project Hell — Værnes which deals with new

track system on the stretch from Hell to Værnes, including a new bridge over

Stjørdalselva [Stjørdals River]. It has been decided to demolish the old bridge when the new bridge has been commissioned.

The contract deals with demolition and partial land filling of the old Stjørdalselva bridge.

The bridge is a 5 span truss bridge of steel placed on 2 land abutments and 4 pillars of stone

and concrete. The total length is 179.5 m distributed across 5 spans. In addition, tracks (sleepers and

rails) on the length of the bridge are to be removed. The method of demolition is to a large degree left to the contractor

within the limits set as a result of the completed safety analyses

organised by the Contractor. The Contract also involves 1 bridge span and parts of

the construction being removed completely to be used for research purposes.

The removed bridge span shall be moved and mounted on a new concrete slab that shall

be located south of the bridge. All works in this regard, including construction of

the concrete slab are included in the contract. It is assumed that the foundation can be executed

without the need for piling.
