Challenge / Goal

Remove transport from the road in central parts of the city

Solutions

Initiate a dialoge with the part that will generate a large amount of aggregates. Next we looked at the possibilities of using the quay next to the construction site. We also conduced a feasibility study to see if waterways was even an option. Last we did a pilot from the site to measure noise and test the method. We also analysed the effects of using trucks from the site vs using the waterways.
