COPENHAGEN GOES GREEN
Amager Ressource Center (ARC) is an integrated part of the Danish capital, turning waste into energy, nutrients and new materials. ARC receives and processes waste from more than half a million residents and 45,000 businesses and in turn deliver electricity and district heating to some 150,000 households.
With the construction of the waste-to-energy plant Amager Bakke, ARC is creating a multi-functional, social and cultural facility with an emphasis on sustainability. It will be one of the world’s most environmentally friendly and efficient plants that will raise the bar in Denmark as well as internationally. Amager Bakke is expected to exploit 25 per cent more energy from the waste, educe the NOx emissions significantly and bring down CO2 emissions by more than 100,000 ton.
Crew and equipment from companies in the BMS Group has helped with the construction of Amager Bakke, not least due to the fact that the BMS crawler cranes are particularly well suited for construction and steel assembly assignments.

This crane type is erected and lifts without supports. At the same time, it can transport the load, which makes it flexible and quick at the construction site. For instance one of the seven BMS crawler cranes at the site lifted a 37-meter high flue gas washer with a diameter of 6 meter and a weight of around 70 ton. With hooks and gear the total eight was close to 90 ton.
Amager Bakke will give the residents of the capital area a new recreational opportunity, as the plant is designed as a hill where the roof surface is made available to the public. With its 85 meter height the unique green landmark will be Copenhagen’s largest “mountain”, giving the visitors access among other things to a ski slope, a climbing wall, green countryside running tracks and a café.
