The VCR consortium, made up of NCC and Envidan, has been appointed by Energi Viborg Vand to upgrade and expand the central wastewater treatment facility in Bruunshåb, central Jutland, Denmark.

The contract is valued at approximately Skr630m ($67.21m). NCC will record around Skr315m of this in its infrastructure segment during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Construction is scheduled to commence this month, with completion targeted for early 2029.

The facility will be among the first in Denmark to incorporate a fourth stage of purification, aimed at removing pharmaceutical residues from wastewater as part of a broader modernisation project.

The planned improvements include a new equalising tank, comprehensive water purification, pretreatment measures, and updated sludge management.

NCC infrastructure head Kenneth Nilsson said: “We are seeing clear growth in the number of infrastructure projects in Jutland: energy projects, climate adaptation projects, and classic engineering works.

“NCC has been working systematically with water and wastewater projects for many years, and we look forward to developing the best solutions for upgrading the plant.”

Based in Sweden, NCC operates as a construction company in the Nordic region.

The company’s activities cover building and infrastructure contracts, production of asphalt and stone materials, and commercial property development.

In 2024, NCC reported sales of roughly Skr62bn and employed nearly 11,800 people.

Last month, it secured two contracts for asphalt laying in northern Sweden, with a combined value of around Skr175m. The contracts cover road sections from Avakko to Lappeasuando in Gällivare and from Grimsmark to Gumboda in Västerbotten.
