We will be heading all engineering tasks, including access roads, pavements, constructions, electricity and plumbing jobs. This will completely change the area of Nørreport train station, which is used every day by more than 250,000 people travelling by train, metro, bus, car, bicycle or foot.  

Hat-trick at Nørreport train station
We have already won the bids for renewing the ventilation system and the renovation of the entire train tunnel construction at Nørreport station. This ”hat-trick” now means that Grontmij in Denmark will be playing a leading role in the extensive and demanding task of modernising, repairing and improving the busiest station in Denmark, including the entire traffic terminal square.

Bicycle parking
The architecture competition’s winning project involves a vision for bicycle parking, which the unanimous panel of judges described as "a brilliant brainwave". The chairman of the panel of judges said about the project plan: "So logical that everybody gets the idea as soon as they have arrived".

User-oriented design
The main idea behind the project is to facilitate easy and proper bicycle parking. For this purpose, the winning team has invented the so-called "bicycle beds", which are placed in strategic areas around Nørreport, where people typically want to "plant" their bicycles. The bicycle beds are lower than the square itself, thereby indicating to people where to place their bicycles. At the same time, the bicycles will take up less space visually. This solution allows people to "plant" their bicycles in a quick and easy manner without creating the usual bicycle chaos.

Discrete and elegant station buildings
The station buildings will be constructed in the same soft mode as the "bicycle beds". The glass facades have been pushed back below the roofs that look like floating discs.
