CREATING CLIENT VALUE

Client focusWe act as a strategic partner to cater for the specific needs of two main client groups: international companies that are new to the Arctic and seeking to establish themselves in the region, and clients with operating experience in the Arctic that are looking to expand.

NORTH ATLANTIC ENERGY NETWORK PROJECTRamboll investigated how small isolated energy systems can be connected to a low-capacity, electrical network grid and onwards to the European market. The project examined the possibility of using undersea electric cables to connect communities in Iceland, Greenland, Norway, the Faroe Islands and Shetland by distributing potential electricity supplies derived from hydro and geothermal power.(Image right)

Meeting Arctic challengesRamboll helps clients address challenges in three main areas: Climate – We develop solutions for the transport, buildings, industry, mining and energy sectors that are resilient to Arctic’s extreme climatic conditions. Environment – Ramboll helps minimise human interference with the Arctic’s sensitive natural environment by leveraging world class competences in environmental impact assessments, air and water quality, meteorology, water and waste management, and oil spill response and planning. Society – To navigate stringent legal requirements and ensure the rights and customs of indigenous people are protected, Ramboll’s extensive Arctic network enables effective stakeholder management and authority handling.

NEW HABOUR PROJECT, NUUKCurrently providing a logistic challenge for Greenlandic growth, Nuuk Habour will undergo an extensive expansion to target container ships, but will also accommodate cruise ships, trawlers and offshore projects. A container port will be built with a quay length of 320 meters and connected hinterland area of 40,000 m2, which will reduce pressure on the existing harbour. Ramboll is also the consultant for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in connection with the expansion of Nuuk Habour and has assisted the government in assessing the socio-economic impact of investing in the new habour.

WORLD CLASS PROJECTS OIL SPILL RESPONSE PLANNING IN THE ARCTIC, CIRCUMPOLARRamboll Environ is developing net environmental benefit analysis (NEBA) tools to support oil spill contingency planning in the Arctic. We conducted laboratory studies in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas to evaluate the toxicity and biodegradation potential of chemically and physically dispersed oil in Arctic waters, the first time such studies had been carried out. We lead the development of web-based NEBA tools that integrate and simplify the array of technical information needed by spill responders to rapidly compare the relative risks and benefits of different countermeasures in order to select the approach that minimises impacts on sensitive or less resilient ecosystems and species.

POLARLED PIPELINE, NORWEGIAN SEAThis unprecedented 481 km offshore pipeline will connect new fields in the Norwegian Sea with existing infrastructure to secure future energy supply to Europe. Drawing on extensive knowledge of subsea pipeline design and state of the art software, Ramboll specialists are delivering an optimised, innovative, and cost effective solution. (Image top)
