Preparing for Copenhagen’s Next Major Infrastructure Project – Svanemøllen Cloudburst Tunnel

The Svanemøllen Cloudburst Tunnel is set to be a pivotal project in Copenhagen’s strategy to mitigate urban flooding. As the environmental assessment has recently been approved by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, the tender is expected to be published soon, and general contractors are already assembling teams of local partners to navigate the complexities of this significant infrastructure endeavor.

Project Overview

The tunnel, spanning approximately 10 km, is designed to transport stormwater from extensive areas in Gentofte, Gladsaxe, and Copenhagen Municipality. With dimensions ranging from Ø1800 to Ø4900 mm, it aims to alleviate pressure on existing drainage systems during heavy rainfall events. 

Tender Process and Local Collaboration

The procurement process for the Svanemøllen Cloudburst Tunnel is progressing, with key stakeholders such as HOFOR, Novafos, and Frederiksberg Forsyning leading the initiative. General contractors are proactively forming alliances with local engineering firms, digitalization specialists, and bid writing consultants to enhance their bids. This collaborative approach ensures compliance with Denmark’s stringent sustainability and digitalization standards.

Opportunities for International Companies

For companies specializing in tunnel construction, stormwater management, or digital infrastructure solutions, the Svanemøllen project presents a valuable entry point into the Nordic market. Engaging with local partners can facilitate a smoother integration into the Danish construction landscape and position your company ahead of the upcoming tender.
