full service adviser for new waste storage designated

MOE A/S has been selected as full service adviser for a new, upgraded storage facility for radioactive waste.

In October,DDanish Decommissioning put the task full service adviser out to tender. Four companies were pre-qualified and submitted their final offers just after the New Year. MOE A/S won the contract.

"In evaluating the offers, we have not only emphasized the price, but rather the processes and competences described. Here we all got the best offer from MOE. We are very much looking forward to the cooperation and to moving forward with a project that is so crucial to the overall progress of our tasks," says Danish Dekommissionion Director Ole Kastbjerg Nielsen.

"We are delighted with the confidence Danish Decommissioning has shown in us and we look forward to working closely together to address this important social issue. It is a unique and engineering demanding project, where we will draw on many specialists both in ourselves and our sub-consultants," says Kim Hoegh, Head of Laboratories & Health at MOE.

MOE has as sub-advisors Christensen & Co Arkitekter and Langebæk A/S. The first company MOE has previously worked with on technically advanced buildings such as Building 310 at the Technical University of Denmark, which in 2019 was named Construction of the Year.

About the project
Among other things, the tender documents show that:

  • The new upgraded waste storage will have an area of 6-10,000 square meters and a building height of up to 15 meters above ground level.
  • The floor must be at least 4 metres above sea level (kote +4) so that the building is high-water proof.
  • One part of the building becomes a closed building with climate protection, while another part becomes a so-called cold barn (a covered area).
  • The whole thing will have the same façade and appear as one building. It must be machined architecturally so as to minimise the visual impact, without sacrificing the safety, technical and operational requirements of the building.

One of the first tasks for MOE will be to carry out geotechnical studies on the possible construction fields so that a final location of the new upgraded waste storage facility can be determined.
