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 return delivers 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 is one of the world’s most environmentally friendly and efficient plants that raises the bar in Denmark as well as internationally. Amager Bakke exploits 25 per cent more energy from the waste, reduces the NOx emissions significantly and brings down CO2 emissions by more than 100,000 ton.
Crew and equipment from companies in the BMS Group was helping with the construction of Amager Bakke, and 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 seven BMS crawler cranes at site lifted a 37-meter high flue gas scrubber with a diameter of 6 meter and a weight of approximately 70 ton. With hooks and gear the total weight was close to 90 ton.
Amager Bakke gives 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 the unique green landmark is Copenhagen’s largest “mountain”, giving visitors access to a ski slope, a climbing wall, green scenic running tracks and a café among other things.
