Grey skies and grey water

It’s November and the sky is grey. Lolland municipality is hoping that the water in the concrete used for the tunnel construction has the same colour, and a leading concrete expert approves of the idea.

It is also sort of grey in regards to the business in the self-service and merchant-less grocery container with the in FLC-village, and Bach Gruppen’s upcoming high-rise hotel in Rødby has received a somewhat lukewarm local reception.

On the other hand, things are going great for the building and construction, as only one contractor had the capacity to bid on the last stage of the Ringsted-Fehmarn railroad.

And that’s how this November week went. Thanks for the attention and space in the inbox. Have a good weekend
