The Follo Line Project International Presentation Conference 2012

Tuesday 27th november

Facts, scope & strategy Mr. Erik Smith Project Director


The Follo Line will be built to meet

the increased demand for rail

capacity south of Oslo

• 1,1 million residents in the Oslo

region

• 30 % population increase by 2025

• Currently no spare capacity on

neither rail nor road

• 150 000 passengers every day

• Great potential for increased freight

traffic

The Follo Line - Background

• The largest railway project in Norway

• New double-track railway line between Oslo Central Station and

the public transport centre of Ski

• The whole Follo Line project will comprise around 64 km of track,

while the new double track Oslo-Ski line will be 2x22 km long.

• Extensive works at Oslo Central Station

• Construction of a new station at Ski

• The longest railway tunnel in Norway - approximately 19,5 km

The Follo Line – Facts and scope

• The Follo Line will reach speeds of up to 250 km/h through the

tunnel,

• The new tunnel will make it possible to reduce the journey time

between Oslo and Ski by 50% (from 22 to 11 minutes)

• The double track line will form the core part of InterCity

development southwards from Oslo and will be a safe, efficient

and environmentally-friendly transport system

Efficient transport

The Follo Line will pave the way for:

• more passenger trains and freight trains

• a more predictable service

By 2025 the target is:

• 11,000 more passengers every day

• Almost 70% increase in rail passengers to Oslo Central Station during

the rush hour

• More than 40% increase in rail passengers to Oslo Central Station

outside the rush hour

• Approximately 5,800 fewer car journeys per day

• Approximately 750 fewer heavy freight vehicle journeys per day

• Less CO2 emission: a reduction of around 39,000 tons of CO2 per year

(passenger and freight traffic)

Growth and improved passenger satisfaction

• Contracts with combination of civil construction and rail

technology

NNRA would like to invite the railway marked to give feedback on

how far and fast we can develop these strategies.

The Follo Line - Strategy

Requirements to our contractors

High safety standard
