Preparedness (Beredskap)

The idea

Preparedness functions integrated in the area development — storage, response, community resilience.

Role

Civil preparedness capacity

Revenue logic

Primarily public value; possible shared facilities.

Societal value

Safety and resilience for residents and visitors.

Preparedness system: Kvænnes–Nordkjosnes–Storvik

Internal PALT planning graphics for AP07 sketch a linked tunnel and facility system connecting three points: a deep-water quay and preparedness harbour, a mountain facility at Nordkjosnes, and an operational preparedness hub at Kvænnes. The figures below are draft planning estimates read from those graphics, not confirmed engineering figures — exact lengths vary slightly between drafts.

• Dypvannskai og beredskapshavn (deep-water quay and preparedness harbour) — linked by a secure branch tunnel to the Nordkjosnes mountain facility.
• Nordkjosnes – fjellanlegg (mountain facility): approx. 0.65 km², including approx. 0.25 km² of fjellhaller (mountain halls).
• Hovedtunnel E6–Nordkjosnes (main tunnel): approx. 4.5 km (draft figures: 4.54 km / 4.47 km).
• Tunnelarm til Indre Storvik (tunnel arm to Indre Storvik): approx. 2.5 km (draft figures: 2.55 km / 2.52 km).
• Kvænnes – operativt beredskapsnav (operational preparedness hub): its own E6 portal, with the Byggetrinn 3 dome cluster sited alongside it.
