In 2021, the joint public data collaboration, Danmarks Miljøportal, set up a platform called VanDa, which contains data on streams, lakes and sea areas, to follow the development of the Danish water environment and make it easier to access and reuse water data. Data - which until now - has come from municipalities, regions and the Danish Environment Agency.
But now Sund & Bælt, which plans, constructs and operates some of Denmark's largest public infrastructure projects, wants to be the first developer to share data on the platform. The first data that Sund & Bælt will share is for the establishment of a possible Eastern Ring Road in Copenhagen. Danmarks Miljøportal informs this in an announcement.
- As a responsible developer, Sund & Bælt works daily to collect and document data on our projects and ensure transparency for all stakeholders. VanDa is an exciting initiative that can both create greater openness and knowledge of the water environment, and we would very much like to participate in and promote that knowledge sharing, says Gunnar Peter Jensen, Environmental Consultant at Sund & Bælt.
Danmarks Miljøportal hopes that Sund & Bælt's initiative can create a trend.
- We hope that Sund & Bælt can create a trend of sharing data among builders, so that it becomes easier and cheaper to make knowledge-based decisions. But also because it is obvious to include in ESG reporting, which is required by the EU, says Nils Høgsted, head of the secretariat for Denmark's Environment Portal, and notes that they are working to adapt the user interface so that it better matches the needs of developers.
