Sluppen Bridge
Sluppen Bridge

Sluppenbrua (lit. Sluppen Bridge) is a road bridge across the Nidelva river in Trondheim, Norway. It is 82 meters long, and connects the Norwegian National Road 706 (riksvei 706) to the areas east of Nidelva. Originally, Sluppenbrua was built as a railway bridge on the Trondhjem–Støren Line, which was opened in 1864. This bridge was around 200 m long og 30 m tall, made by timber standing on a foundations of rock. This bridge was torn down in 1884 when the new Dovre Line going by Nidareid was opened. The foundations were transferred for free to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration in 1927 with the intent to build a road bridge on the same spot. The new road bridge was postponed, resulting in the first road bridge to be built being a provisional truss bridge built in wood by order of the German military. This bridge was opened in July 1942. The wood was not waterproofed, which meant that the bridge gradually decayed and had to be closed. A new bridge made of steel was opened in 1954. In 1977 the bridge was equipped with a separate path for pedestrians and cyclists. Today the bridge still stands on the same foundations from 1864. There are plans for building a new bridge called Nydalsbrua in 2017, being placed just downstream of Sluppenbrua. The new bridge is planned to have four lanes. The plan is to make the new Nydalsbrua exclusively for cars, trucks etc., while Sluppenbrua is intended to be used only by pedestrians and cyclists.

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics, NTNU

In 2017 the department was merged with the Department of Geology and Mineral Resources Engineering, forming the new Department of Geoscience and Petroleum. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is the key university of science and technology in Norway. The Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics (IPT) was established in 1973, shortly after the start of production (Ekofisk field) from the Norwegian continental shelf. The department came to include Petroleum Engineering as well as Geophysics, which is seen as a major strength of the petroleum education at NTNU. The department has elected chairman and vice chairman, and 4 informal groups of professors; geophysics, drilling, production and reservoir engineering. The stated primary purpose of maintaining the informal groups is to take care of the teaching in their respective disciplines. Each group is responsible for offering a sufficient number of courses, semester projects and thesis projects at M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels in their discipline, and to make annual revisions of these in accordance with the needs of society and industry. The total number of professors, associate professors, assistant professors and adjunct professors is 32. The administrative staff is led by a department administrator, and consists of a total of 6 secretaries. The technical support staff reports to the department head, and consists of 8 engineers and technicians. Until 2000, the department was part of the Applied Earth Sciences faculty, together with the Geology-department. After that, the department is part of the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (one of a total of 10 departments). Brief historical statistics of the department: Established in 1973 More than 2000 graduated M.Sc.´s More than 150 graduated Ph.D.´s Around 120 M.Sc.´s graduate every year Around 10 Ph.D.´s graduate every year Currently around 120 full-time teachers, researchers and staff Around 450 students enrolled at B.Sc. and M.Sc. levels Around 65 PhD students enrolled
