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 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.
