Fjelltun school

A small river flows through Rogaland's most beautiful schoolyard. Here there are large chalkboards that the children can draw on and on the roof terrace there are small gardens. Nordic Steel has contributed to all this.

- It has been a very exciting project to be involved in. Together with the customer, we have found the best solutions, says Bjørn Erik Ualand, head of the transport and infrastructure department at Nordic Steel.

The bridge is made of galvanized and acid-resistant steel.

Fjelltun School in Jørpeland in Rogaland was brand new for the start of school in the fall of 2022. Bjelland AS has been responsible for the outdoor area.

- It is very easy to work with Nordic Steel. They have delivered on time and contributed to us getting the solutions we needed for this project, says Kristian Thrane Holmebakken, plant manager in Bjelland.

Nordic Steel has delivered:

  • Bridge in galvanized and acid-resistant steel that crosses a small river. The bridge is eight meters long and three meters wide. The wooden deck is in cumaru
  • Four walls in 10 mm thick steel plates. The walls are two meters high and painted in chalk paint
  • Corten steel planters of a total of 133 square metres. There are benches in cumaru around several of the boxes

- We have thought a lot about what we deliver to be durable and maintenance-free. Corten steel is both maintenance-free and very suitable for planters. The bridge is adapted to the environment in which it stands and the cumaru wooden deck is both durable and has a long life, says Bjørn Erik Ualand.

Norwegian quality

The over two-tonne steel bridge was both manufactured and assembled at Nordic Steel. It was then hoisted straight into place at Fjelltun school. Contractor Bjelland was keen to use a local supplier for the project.

- The construction time on the project was extremely tight. It was important for us to have good suppliers who can deliver in a short time. In addition, price is always an important factor. We chose to shop locally, rather than go out into Europe, says Kristian Thrane Holmebakken.

The plants should be up to 70 cm tall in the planters.
