Decarbonization of maritime shipping industry
Lead Procurement Management:
Procurement Strategy -
Ocean technology breakthrough: Engineers are harnessing windpower to chart a course toward a decarbonized maritime shipping industry the utilization of wind power to propel maritime shipping vessels, aiming to decarbonize the industry. The innovative solution, called "WindWings," represents a significant advancement in sail technology, designed to harness wind power as a sustainable energy source for ships with the first two cargo ships to implement this technology is the PyxisOcean and BergeBulk.
Unlike traditional sails, WindWings are constructed from steel and composite fiberglass, similar to materials used in wind turbines, and stand approximately 50 meters tall. They feature two extensions, leading and trailing edges, designed to leverage wind forces around an aviation wing, hence the name "WindWings."
This innovation is the result of a collaboration between UK engineering firm BAR Technologies and Norwegian company Yara Marine Technologies. Each unit of WindWings has been reported to save a cargo ship 1.5 tonnes of fuel per day, resulting in a potential lifetime emission reduction of up to 30%. However, the actual savings may vary depending on factors such as whether the technology is applied to new builds or retrofits, as well as efforts in hydrodynamic hull optimization.

Expansion project to existing subway lines
Automation & HVAC Discipline Management:
Detail Engineering - The Fornebu line is a new metro line from Majorstuen to Fornebu. The track will be built in collaboration with Oslo Municipality and Viken County Municipality. The new metro development is the largest in Norway since the major extensions of the metro on the eastern outskirts of Oslo in the 1960s and 70s.
The new metro will, among other things, contribute to:

Expansion project to existing water supply in Oslo
HVAC Discipline Management:
Detail Engineering - Oslo is Europe's fastest growing city, and forecasts indicate continued strong growth. In order to maintain quality and ensure the supply of drinking water, it is necessary to expand the supply capacity. The drinking water for Oslo's population is currently supplied with 90 percent from Maridalsvannet, but this supply solution can have serious consequences in the event of a failure in vital parts of the system, which supply the city with drinking water.
The supply capacity must therefore be increased and implemented with a redundant supply solution to ensure stable supply of drinking water and future population growth. The plant's capacity expansion is expected to be completed in the year 2028.

Life Extension Detail Engineering
Project Management & Multidiscipline Management:
Detail Engineering - Life extension, renovation and affiliation project. The life of the ship, Njord Bravo FSO, is extended from the original design life of 20 years to a total life of 40 years. The yard's scope of delivery is limited to renovation and construction. Brevik Engineering's role is to provide the complete technical basis for the yard's scope of delivery at the "detailed engineering level".

Project Management & Multidiscipline Management:
Detail Engineering - The project: Detail Engineering for Decommissioning of existing Building # 7 - "DECOM B7" (hereinafter referred to as "the project"), is a sub-project linked to the establishment of New Hospital Bispebjerg (hereinafter referred to as "BBH"), where the existing building # 7 (hereinafter referred to as "B7") must be demolished in stages to make room for New Hospital Bispebjerg.
The project thus results in the establishment of a report and description for the elements / systems in connection with. the demolition of B7. The report (s) are defined as a recommended “manual”, in which there is a robust basis for the service description in the forthcoming tender for the demolition of the North Wing for B7, as the first step in Decommissioning of B7.
B7 is shown in the middle of the bottom image.

Expansion project - Neutralization & wastewater treatment plant
Project Management & Multidiscipline Management:
Detail Engineering - In connection with production expansion, AGC Biologics must have delivered a complete Kill & Neutralization plant, which must be established and integrated directly into existing plants and will function as a capacity expansion for both kill and neutralization processes.
GMO residues from production are decomposed in existing plants, which are expanded with additional buffer capacity for storage of peak loads. The buffer tank is connected as a connected vessel with the existing buffer tank.
Subsequent acid / base levels for production waste are neutralized (to pH 6.5-9) by adding acid / base from existing supply system. This happens in resp. existing and new neutralization tank.

Expansion project UBRA (Development of Bekkelaget treatment plant)
Project Management & Multidiscipline Management:
Detail Engineering - Oslo is Europe's fastest growing city, and forecasts indicate continued strong growth. In order to maintain the quality of the water in the Oslo Fjord, it is necessary to expand the treatment capacity. The brook treatment plant purifies 40 percent of Oslo Municipality's wastewater. But it is congested and can not meet new environmental requirements. When the treatment plant was built in 2001 under the mountain, it was dimensioned for 270,000 people. The wastewater is now purified to 300,000 presons. The plant's capacity is increased to be able to handle wastewater from 500,000 people, which is the expected amount of wastewater for the year 2040.
