The development of a double track on the Venjar-Langset and Kleverud-Sørli stretches is a part of the Oslo-Hamar inter-city development. The Norwegian National Rail Administration would like a consultant for local noise reduction measures on the above mentioned stretches of this development.

The assignment ‘Consultant local noise reduction measures for Venjar — Langset and Kleverud — Sørli’ consists of calculating noise for the area as regards the current situation and the final situation (i.e. the expected situation after the development is complete). Register and clarify the need for local noise reduction measures, as well as engineer, draw and submit applications for measures are also included in the assignment. The assignment also includes follow-up in the construction period. Good dealings with landowners will be seen as important in this assignment and the tenderer must reckon on a lot of contact with landowners.

The aim for this consultant assignment and the subsequent contract for the execution of the local noise reduction measures is to be finished as soon as possible. The deadlines for this contract are given in chapter C3. The main reason for this is that the affected neighbours will then be able to benefit from increased noise reduction during the construction period. The consultant assignment also includes follow-up in the construction period, which is expected to be finished in 2023.
