The client required a pit to carry out general inspection and maintenance work on locos and carriages. A request was made to have the pit as wide as possible at the bottom. Due to ground conditions, the installation process needed to some consideration.

The decision was made between Syljuasen AS and Premier Rail Pits that an existing design for a Wide Bodied pit, adapted to Rail, was the best solution to meet Bane NOR's needs, with the team at Syljuasen AS installing the pit. Due to ground conditions, Syljuasen AS were required to have an extended excavation to allow for a bottom fix solution, with reinforcing mesh and Pecafil.

The project was delivered to Bane NOR in September 2021 with the client happy with the end result.
