Managing a demanding timeline and site bottlenecks

Karlatornet Case Study: Leveraging efficient production with digitized construction logistics. Karlatornet is a core part of the new city development on the island of Lindholmen in Gothenburg known as Karlastaden. Swedish construction company Serneke managed the project development and EPC. Karlatornet is the tallest building in the Nordic Countries at 246 m and is the first and largest building in the Karlastaden development plan. The construction of the tower alone covered 100,000 m2 in total. The challenging combination of a tightly spaced urban construction site, limitations posed by the required vertical transports, and the desired speed of construction identified the need for logistical management capability as a key part of the project setup from the very start.

Morrow Batteries’ Gigafactory Leverages Digitized Logistics 

Streamlining Project Supply Chains – Morrow Batteries, Metier and Myloc Construction. Morrow Batteries is creating an innovative industrial site in southern Norway built on several cornerstones; a locally secured renewable energy supply, access to a deep sea port to ensure international freight capabilities and a long-term development concept. Eyde Energy Park outside the city of Arendal has the capacity to host multiple large Giga battery cell factories, built step-by-step. Morrow began the construction of their first giga-scale factory in 2020. This first project is not only a commercial investment but also forms the foundation of accumulated experience to be utilized in future projects in the area.

The Stavanger hospital project – The biggest construction project in Norway

This article is part of a series where we at Myloc Construction visit landmark construction projects we are involved in. At the same time, we want to highlight interesting and innovative projects within the construction industry. One of Norway’s largest construction projects is currently underway in Stavanger. A university hospital is being built with a total of 125,000 m2 BTA (gross area). Today there are between 80 and 100 entrepreneurs involved in the construction of the hospital complex, an number that is expected to rise further before the work is complete.
