The roof of the new Viking Age Museum on Bygdøy will be laid with Ottaskifer. It is an incredibly exciting project, not least because the roof is curved. The solution will therefore be to lay the slate slabs with a large overlap.
Ottaskifer Rust will be used, and all the slate is extracted from the Pillarguri quarry here in Otta. The first stone must be delivered in October 2024, and all stones must be delivered by April 2025. The museum will be ready for occupancy in 2026.
This is a large project that we are really looking forward to. We must at the same time not neglect the fact that this is a demanding project with large deliveries. In total, we will deliver 54,706 slate slabs in a six month-peripd, meaning it will be an intensive production.
We are exited and look forward to seeing the finished product!
