Civil works & utility services
MT Højgaard has built many of Denmark’s roads, railways, harbours and bridges - in fact more than half of the country’s bridges are the result of our efforts. And what we do at home, we can also do abroad. We build and renovate sewers and provide environmental engineering consultancy in wastewater technology and handling of waste, sludge and contaminated soil. We also undertake cable and pipeline works for water and district heating, and help ensure the reliable provision of power supplies and telecommunication.
Commercial construction
MT Højgaard has a broad range of competences in industrial and commercial construction. Our work can be seen throughout Denmark – hotels, multi-storey car parks, warehouses, office blocks, production plants (especially pharma and biotech) and much more. And what we do at home, we can also do abroad. We constantly develop new ways of building and fitting out – in close collaboration with architects, consulting engineers and building owners. We have our own production of all forms of concrete work and our own specialised departments for carpentry and masonry. Among others, we also have a subsidiary in steel constructions.
International activities
Projects and operations abroad are managed by MT Højgaard’s business area “International”, with the following exceptions:
• Service works at Thule Air Base which are managed by Greenland Contractors
• Projects in Portugal which are managed by our subsidiary Seth
MT Højgaard International carries out projects in Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Maldives and Sweden, the UK, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Panama. In Greenland and the Faroe Islands we carry out both house construction and civil works. Usually we primarily carry out civil works abroad like harbour construction, coastal protection works, offshore foundations (e.g. for wind turbines), bridges, airport works, transmission lines, water treatment plants, water supplies, sewerage lines, etc.
