  • Olav Heggstad (March 5, 1877 – May 2, 1954) was a Norwegian civil engineer and professor at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. Heggstad was born in Namsos, the son of the professor Marius Hægstad and Pernele Larsdotter Midgaard (1852–1935). Heggstad passed his engineering exams at the in 1896. After a few years of employment at the Canal Authority (Norwegian: Kanalvesenet, the forerunner of today's Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate) from 1897 to 1902 as well as the Holmenkollen Line, he studied further at the Dresden University of Technology from 1899 to 1900 to learn more about hydropower and electrical engineering. After practical experience at Siemens & Halske in Germany, he returned to Norway to participate in developing the Kykkelsrud power plant. Later he was employed by Norsk Hydro in the first phase of construction of power stations to provide electricity to the company's factories at Rjukan. He worked as an engineer at Sam Eyde's engineering office in Oslo. At the age of 30, Heggstad was placed in charge of dam and tunnel construction at Møsvatn in connection with the Vemork hydroelectric plant. He was later given similar managerial responsibilities for construction of the Såheim Hydroelectric Power Station, and also at Rjukan. Heggstad was one of several young engineers used by Sam Eyde to develop the Norsk Hydro company. These projects were pioneering work, and when it was opened Vemork was the world's largest power station. He was a professor of hydraulic engineering at the Norwegian Institute of Technology, where he served as the institute's rector from 1929 to 1932 and from 1942 to 1945. (en)
