WORKING IN A COUNTRY OF BRIDGES

Denmark – the home country of the BMS Group – consists of one peninsula north of Germany and 443 named islands. Of these, 74 are inhabited and bridges connect quite a number of them.

The southernmost Danish part of the BMS Group is BMS Lolland-Falster, centrally located to several very exciting construction projects of the years to come. They include the new Storstrømsbroen, with its four kilometer the country’s third largest bridge. Storstrømsbroen will be equipped with a two-lane road and an electrified railway in two tracks, since the bridge is an important part of the rail corridor between the Danish capital Copenhagen and Germany. The bridge should be completed by 2022.

In a somewhat longer perspective, it is of course interesting that BMS Lolland-Falster is also ideally located for the future link across the Fehmarn Belt between Denmark and Germany. The two countries have decided to establish a tunnel with a four-lane motorway and a doubletrack electrified railway.
There will be lots of work on the enormous building site towards the end of the next decade. This will hopefully also be the case for BMS’s material and manpower.

In the short run, BMS Lolland-Falster awaits increasing activity in connection with the construction of Storstrømsbroen, but also expects a general increase of the market share.

Recently, two mobile cranes and a self-propelled modular transporter from BMS Lolland-Falster have been engaged in loading, packing and transporting 94 wings for MHI Vestas Offshore Wind – the same wings as BMS Heavy Cranes handled in Belfast.
