WORLD CLASS PROJECTS SUSTAINABLE WASTE APPROACH, SISIMIUT With a current population of approx. 5,500 people, Sisimiut is facing serious waste problems as the local incineration plant’s capacity has long been exceeded. Ramboll developed an effective method for converting waste into fertile land, in close collaboration with the Government and the municipality of Qeqqata. By using old refrigerated containers equipped with ventilators to ensure that the heat from the composting processes was retained and recirculated into the waste, the composting process proved successful in the cold, Arctic climate.

ANALYSIS OF GROWTH POTENTIALS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN GREENLANDThe government of Greenland is seeking to enhance sustainable growth in a number of sectors. One of the areas where growth is possible is within tourism, but poor accessibility and high prices of airplane tickets is constraining growth. Ramboll has developed a number of scenarios for optimised airport structures which will enhance accessibility and lower the price levels for both tourists and society as a whole. Based on forecast for tourism and passengers Ramboll conducted a socio-economic analysis, a cash flow analysis for the new airport structures and forecast of demand for hotel capacity.

EIA FOR HYDROPOWER PLANT, QOLORTORSUAQA two-hundred-meter-wide dam and a water reservoir less than one kilometer from the ice cap are among the spectacular features to be evaluated in an Environmental Impact Assessment by Ramboll, covering the expansion of the hydroelectric power plant at Qolortorsuaq. The focus of the EIA is to investigate the biological conditions in the area, including the changed water regime, a possible increase in mercury in the fish in the area as well as the impact on local sheep farming.
