At Norsyn, we contributed to the establishment of the world’s first training and testing center for flood protection in connection with cloudbursts and storm surges.
Flooding is becoming increasingly frequent and causes significant damage in Denmark and abroad. As a response, an initiative was launched to establish a dedicated test center for flood protection technologies. Norsyn has been involved since the concept design phase, delivering detailed design, tendering, and construction management during execution.
At Norsyn, we prepared tender documents for four separate construction packages: earthworks, paving materials, building structures, and landscape works.
The project was particularly challenging due to PFAS contamination in the soil at the fire department’s premises. At the time, PFAS had just become a political concern in Denmark, which affected the permitting process.

In addition to testing, the center also serves an educational purpose (video by DR Ultra Nyt).
