Research

GjenOm - A research project investigating possibilities of reusing load-bearing concrete structures

2022-2024. Lead: Trondheim Municipality, with SINTEF, NTNU, Asplan Viak and Loopfront. The goal is to prepare a guide that shows how to go about reusing the concrete. The project is financed by the Trøndelag Regional Research Foundation.
