Reference is made to the notice to the stock exchange published on 24 August
2022, where FREVAR KF proposed AF Gruppen as design and build contractor with
interaction for phase 1 of a new treatment plant in Fredrikstad municipality.
Today, AF Gruppen has signed a contract with FREVAR KF for phase 2 (design and
engineering and execution). The contract value for phase 2 is NOK 1,081 million
excluding VAT.

The wastewater treatment plant will be located at Øra industrial area in
Fredrikstad and will comprise one building for pre-treatment and bio-treatment
with an administrative section, one building for sludge treatment and two
digestion tanks. The background for the project is increasing climate and
environmental challenges, a need for new and better treatment technology and
more stringent treatment requirements from the County Governor. The project aims
to meet sustainable, eco-friendly and climate-neutral goals.

Construction will start in June 2023, and handover is expected in April 2026.

“We have completed a good interaction phase where we have identified good
environmental and cost-effective solutions. The project has high ambitions in
terms of the environment and climate, and will ensure a treatment plant that
contributes to a cleaner Oslo fjord. We’re looking forward to continuing the
partnership on building a new and modern treatment plant,” says Amund Tøftum,
CEO of AF Gruppen.
