The project includes the expansion of the Stegholt Wastewater Treatment Plant, the decommissioning of the wastewater treatment plants in Bov, Kollund and Brøde as well as the establishment of approx. 36 km of cutting-off pipes with associated pumping stations and basins. The centralization will contribute to improving the aquatic environment in Flens-borg Fjord and Aabenraa Fjord as well as ensuring a more efficient operation. For ARWOS VAND A/S, the expected advisory need is linked in particular to a new source field and water plant.

The framework agreement covers the following two areas of services: • Service area 1 includes advice and assistance in the field of environmental impact assessment, including the provision and assessment of environmental data, studies, specialist assessments, subject notes, environmental impact reports and assistance to the associated authority processes.• Service area 2 includes the technical advice related to the environmental impact assessment, including review and processing of existing project bases, technical analyses, clarification of solution options and project maturation, as well as the provision of technical basis for the environmental impact assessment and authority processes. The consultancy also includes the project and process management as well as interdisciplinary coordination described under the individual service areas.
