Just as the Fehmarn project has its element factory where tunnel elements are cast, the new Storstrømsbro has a bridge girder factory where bridge girder is cast. And just as Lolland Municipality has been allowed to keep the element factory, Vordingborg Municipality now also wants to keep Just as the element factory in Rødbyhavn is preserved, Vordingborg Municipality wants to preserve the halls where Storstrømsbroen is produced. This is written by Lolland-Falster’s Folketidende.
Four halls in total
The primary production facilities for the new Storstrømsbro are located on Masnedø. There are a total of four production halls, which together cover an area of around 30,000 square metres. The largest of the four halls is well over 16,300 square meters with 25 meter ceilings.
Interested tenants
Just as it was originally the idea with the element factory on the Fehmarn project, it is actually intended that the production halls must be demolished or moved when the new Storstrømsbro is completed. But Vordingborg Municipality’s mayor, Mikael Smed (Soc. Dem.), would like to change that:
– SBJV (Storstroem Bridge Joint Venture, ed.) has to tear them down, but it is an expense for them. And there are companies that are interested in renting them, Mikael Smed tells Folketidende.
Therefore, the municipality is in dialogue with the Directorate of Roads, Vordingborg Harbor and SBJV about the possibility of leaving the halls standing.
Vordingborg is longer than Lolland
Mikael Smed will not comment to the newspaper on who the interested tenants are, but he tells Folketidende that there is both interest from a single tenant for all four halls and companies that are interested in renting one each.
On that account, Vordingborg Municipality is thus already somewhat further along in the process than is the case in Lolland. Here, the work of finding an interested operating operator for the element factory must first start now.
