Veidekke's Danish subsidiary Hoffmann A/S has signed contracts for two new
projects in Denmark, Mineralvandsfabrikken in Copenhagen and a new police
college in Vejle. The contract values are DKK 330 million and DKK 260 million,
respectively, and both projects are scheduled for completion in 2020.
Mineralvandsfabrikken constitutes an entire city block in central Copenhagen,
with commercial premises and 69 new homes. When the project is completed, it
will comprise just over 17,500 square meters, of which newbuilt and converted
areas each comprise half. There is also a basement area of 2 250 square meters.
The building mass currently on the site is listed for protection and will be
renovated for commercial use.
The Carlsberg Group's former brewery site in Copenhagen is currently undergoing
extensive renovation and development, and Hoffmann has already built a hotel for
the same customer on the site. The Mineralvandsfabrikken project has been
developed in close cooperation with the customer Carlsberg Byen P/S and
consultants.
Uddannelsescenter Vest (UCV), the Danish National Police's new police college in
Vejle will comprise a total area of 20 000 square metres, half of which will be
new construction in between existing buildings. The project also includes the
renovation of an old college of nursing, which will be converted into student
housing, and the demolition or conversion of other buildings located on the
campus.
The new police college must comply with all special police college requirements.
In addition to housing classrooms, auditorium, fitness rooms and gymnasium, the
UVC will include police operation training facilities. From the cafeteria and
lounge areas located in the atrium running through the school campus, the police
college students will be able to follow many of the ongoing activities. The
campus will also include accommodation designated for continuing and further
education, as well as the administration department and indoor and outdoor
facilities for simulation and practice.
"Both projects exemplify the dedicated efforts of our people in Copenhagen and
Jutland. We continue to build on our competence and business model, which is to
deliver value through the early and strong involvement of all parties. In this
manner, we can exploit our whole range of expertise to deliver buildings that
provide customers and users with the greatest value possible," said Torben Bjørk
Nielsen, CEO of Hoffmann A/S.
