Demolition material handling

NGI works for circularity and sustainable mass handling in building and construction projects. Our advice and recommendations are rooted in research results from several projects and from large and small consulting projects.

NGI has extensive knowledge of materials, and our interdisciplinary expertise in environment, engineering geology, and geotechnics means we can offer a holistic assessment of geomaterials for different uses. We also have much expertise on risks associated with environmental toxins, which is also essential in assessing how surplus materials from the building and construction industry should be handled safely.

We also work a lot with environmental authorities. We have in-depth knowledge of the limitations and possibilities in Norwegian legislation related to mass handling, both within a measured area and when the masses become waste.

Project examples

Cracked soil with sprouting vegetation.

EarthresQue - technologies for sustainable treatment of waste

EarthresQue is a Center for Research-Driven Innovation (SFI) that develops technologies and systems for sustainable management and treatment of waste and surplus masses. The center is led by NMBU and NGI has a central role in the research that is done.

GEOreCIRC

The main aim of the GEOreCIRC research project is to develop methods to reduce the amount of landfill material and encourage reuse. The project will focus on increasing the reuse of excess and waste materials from building and construction projects that are considered clean and potentially reused.

Under Oslo

Everything is possible below the surface, but do we always work in the best way? Under Oslo will investigate innovative methods, sustainability and economic considerations when building below the surface.
