One alternative is to transfer water from Holsfjorden directly to Oset water treatment plant at Maridal Lake. A preliminary project and an impact assessment have already been worked out for this alternative. Later analyses have shown that it could be advantageous to convey water from Langlia via a new tunnel to the water treatment plant at Oset. The tunnel could be extended to Holsfjorden in the future depending on the development of water consumption. If built, the tunnel will be about 30 km.

In Sandeidet, there is a second alternative with an underground connection. In that case, there will be one continuous tunnel from Dolvik to Liavatnet. Distance between tubes is about 10 m. Connections between the tubes every 250 m. Cross sections 2 x 53.5 sq m. Geology consisting of mostly of gneiss and amphibolite in the northern section, granite and gabbro in the south. Drill/blast method. In case of a continuous tunnel in Sandeidet, there may be a short cut-and-cover section. Support with rockbolts and shotcrete. Permanent lining of 4.5 m high concrete elements at the tunnel walls. Type of lining in the tunnel roof has not been decided yet. Project awaiting final approval of the plans and financing.
