| Ramboll to restore wetlands at Swedish National Park  Danish engineering and consulting group Ramboll has been commissioned to investigate the hydro-technical and hydrological conditions and provide suggestions on how to best restore Swedish National Park. The investigation will result in a report with recommendations on how to carry out the restoration. It is expected that the conclusions will be presented by the end of 2011. The contract was won through a procurement process where Ramboll's proposal was ranked as the best among the four tenders submitted.Store Mosse National Park was established in 1982 and is located in the highlands of Småland in Southern Sweden. The park is the largest marshland in southern Sweden and the most important breeding site for cranes in this part of the country. During the early 1900s parts of this marshland were drained to dig for peat. This has had a negative impact on the vegetation and bird life and action needs to be taken. The project is part of LIFE, EU's financial instrument supporting environmental and nature conservation projects throughout the EU, including restoration of wetlands. The project in Store Mosse is of particular importance among the efforts to preserve wetlands in Swedish national parks and the EU Commission will pay the site a visit during the project. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
