Fugro began work in September this year with the successful mobilization of the Skate 3 modular jack-up; the fieldwork is expected to complete in March 2020. Fugro’s innovative geotechnical solution for the Lynetteholmen megaproject will achieve significant time and cost savings whilst delivering program surety.
Malte Larsen, Geotechnical Engineer, COWI: “The future island of Lynetteholmen is the largest construction project in Denmark since the 17th century, and it will leave a significant mark on the city of Copenhagen, not to mention Denmark and the Øresund region. We’re excited to be working with Fugro on this iconic project, which will comprise even more boreholes and CPTs than other recent large infrastructure projects, such as the Great Belt Bridge and the Øresund Bridge.”
Fugro is proud to contribute to the realization of this ambitious and historic project by acquiring the vital geotechnical data required for COWI’s technical consultancy work. The new island will provide housing for 35,000 people and protect against storm-water impact and sea-level rise, contributing to a safe and livable environment for the residents of Copenhagen and beyond.
