New Aker Hospital- Watertight Building, Somatic Care
Jotne Ankers will deliver a range of specially adapted steel and structural solutions for the development of New Aker Hospital in Oslo. The delivery is part of the “Watertight Building – Somatic Care” contract, which forms part of the extensive development of the new hospital led by South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority (Helse Sør-Øst).
The new somatic care building will be a central part of New Aker Hospital, which is being developed as a modern and future-oriented hospital. AF Bygg Øst is responsible for the structural frame of the western section of the somatic care building, as well as the “Watertight Building – Somatic Care” contract, which includes façade and roofing works.
For the project, Jotne Ankers will deliver several specially adapted steel and structural solutions, including:
- Steel brackets for façades, brickwork support and glass roofs
- Brackets for stairs
- Roof brackets for parapets
- Glass canopies
- Platforms and covers over unheated shafts
- Walkways
- Straight-flight staircase
The solutions are manufactured and adapted to the specific requirements of the project, with a focus on functionality, quality and precise integration with the building’s other structures.
Work commenced in February 2026, and the project is scheduled for completion in December 2028.
