Building of the new Munch museum, Norway

The city of Oslo, with Municipal Undertaking for Culture and Sports
Facilities in charge are building a new Munch museum in the heart of Oslo. Yabimo won a contract in this prestigious public
project and participates in building of the new Munch museum – one of the the most famous museum
facility in the capital of Norway. Edvard Munch was one of Modernism’s most
significant artists. Today, the museum gathers more than half of all works of
the artist. There are over a thousand paintings, about 4.5 thousand drawings,
18 thousand graphics (in which Munch especially specialized), as well as
numerous woodcuts, etchings, lithographs, drippings, lithographic stones and
finally woodcut blocks.

Our challenge in the project was, among others, a tight schedule and
advanced assembly in the new museum building. The total weight
of the construction was more than 140 tons of the S355 steel.

The scope of works was as follows: drawings preparation, fabrication of steel
construction, delivery and advanced installation works. The works required
flexibility and cooperation with other companies because of their works in
parallel to ours. To speed up the works, an additional night shift was
launched. The project implementation time was 9 months thanks to the great
involvement of the entire crew. Because of YABIMO’s good quality of the
assembly personnel, the client decided to prolong the cooperation with us.
