“In certain areas, we have a lot to learn from Adif, for example with ERTMS, where they have the largest network in Europe,” says Bane Nor CEO, Mr Gorm Frimannslund. “Then there are also areas where Bane Nor has invaluable knowledge, such as with tunnel drilling, which they have expressed the wish to learn more about from us.”
Adif says it is eager to broaden its collaboration with Bane Nor and hopes the MoU, signed on October 14, will help both IM’s improve services for their customers.
“Through this agreement it will be easier to put experts from both companies within various fields in contact with each other,” says Mr Álvaro Mascaraque Sillero, International Organisations Manager in the International Directorate at Adif.
“We expect to learn from our Nordic colleagues within several fields. Environmental engagement, BIM modelling, how to operate railways in extreme weather conditions, construction of long tunnels and the liberalisation of the railway sector are just a few good examples of areas where we can learn more from Bane Nor.”
