Description
Denmark's largest rainwater reservoir – an underground tunnel with a total capacity of 15,000 m3/s. In addition to providing physical protection against flooding, the environmental targets for Damhusåen (set forth by the Municipality) are also met.
Danish marine and foundation engineering company A1 Consult was in October 2018 awarded the design contract for five (5) concrete sewage pipe pressure shafts forming part of Damhusledningen (part of section II B+C) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The shaft depths varied from 5.9 m to 8.6 m below terrain level, and the shaft diameters varied from 5.0 m to 8.5 m. The shaft sinking method was used for construction, and the in-situ cast base slab was cast below groundwater table.
Aqvila was by A1 Consult awarded the sub-consultancy agreement to prepare the reinforced concrete design for the shafts.
