Aker Solutions has been awarded its first contract by Gassco, Norway’s state-owned gas transport operator.

The project involves upgrading critical pipeline components at the Franpipe onshore facility in Dunkerque, France.

Engineering activities will be led by Aker Solutions’ Bergen office, with work scheduled to begin in early 2026 and construction planned for 2027. 

“Aker Solutions looks forward to partnering with Gassco and supporting our new customer in strengthening Europe’s energy security,” said Paal Eikeseth, Executive Vice President and head of Aker Solutions’ Life Cycle Business.
