“All of Peab in collaboration”

From a rundown area to 18,000 environmentally certified square meters. That sums up the project Carl Berner Square in Oslo that Peab has developed in four years.

“This has been a project where our four business areas have from beginning to end worked together in the best possible way. Everything from design, material and machines from our industrial companies to paving and the actual construction has gone without a hitch and production quality has been high,” Project Manager Terje Hjelset summarizes the work on Carl Berner Square.

Carl Berner Square was completed at the end of 2020 and consists of 111 apartments and 3,800 square meters commercial space for a total of nearly 20,000 square meters close to communications and other urban areas.

Focus has been on the environment. Both the apartments and commercial space will be certified according to the standard BREEAM Very Good. In short, this means high demands on energy and resource efficiency and the avoidance of environmentally and health hazardous substances and materials, under construction and in the completed buildings. Other environmental measures are green roofs, beds that filter rainwater and more sustainable construction material. In addition, the project has been steered digitally. This has improved work efficiency, eliminated mistakes in construction and further promoted thinking sustainably throughout the project.

“This is a good example of how all of Peab collaborates. It also illustrates our role as community builder where we have contributed to turning the entire Carl Berner area into a neighborhood.”
