Oldroyd AS Supplies Membrane Solutions for Faroe Islands and Rogfast Tunnel
What happened
Oldroyd AS supplied water ingress and frost protection systems for tunnels in the Faroe Islands. The company will also deliver 900,000 square meters of membrane solutions for Norway’s Rogfast tunnel. Rogfast, a 27-kilometer undersea road tunnel, is set to replace ferries and remove a bottleneck for freight and travel between Stavanger and Bergen.

Why it matters
These projects reflect increasing scale and ambition in Scandinavian tunnel infrastructure. The membrane solutions are essential for protecting tunnel structures and reducing the need for maintenance and repairs. Rogfast is noted as potentially becoming the world’s deepest and longest undersea road tunnel.
COWI and Stantec are currently investigating the feasibility and costs of a potential undersea tunnel project connecting Yell and the Faroe Islands.
