Avalanche research

Avalanche research aims to increase our knowledge of avalanches to reduce society's losses concerning this natural hazard. We collaborate closely with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), and avalanche research institutes in Switzerland and Austria. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the Norwegian National Rail Administration are examples of public agencies collaborating with partners and users of NGI's avalanche research results.

Energy sheet pile wall at Campus Ullevaal

The energy sheet pile wall at Campus Ullevaal is a full-scale innovation project that tests a new energy solution for using the soil in the ground as a sustainable and stable thermal energy store. Surplus energy, in the form of heat and cold, can be stored in the sheet pile wall for later use. ENOVA has awarded the solution 50% investment support within the program Full-scale Innovative Energy and Climate Technology.
