Product description
A major project to enhance the countryside and improve the environment in the area around Lillebælt (the strait between the island of Funen and the Jutland peninsula in Denmark), involved the removal of a number of pylons and necessitated the setting up of two cable transformer stations. The architects at COWI A/S chose perforated metal panels from the RMIG City Emotion programme for the facade and roof of the transformer stations. environment in the area around Lillebælt (the strait between the island of Funen and the Jutland peninsula in Denmark), involved the removal of a number of pylons and necessitated the setting up of two cable transformer stations.
The architects at COWI A/S chose perforated metal panels from the RMIG City Emotion programme for the facade and roof of the transformer stations. With RMIG ImagePerf, it was possible to manufacture sheets with a pattern of varying hole sizes, creating a facade with a light expression that would enable the transformer stations to fit more discreetly into the beautiful rural surroundings where they have been installed.
The area around Lillebælt is one of Denmark’s most beautiful coastlines and there is no doubt that removing pylons and laying electrical cables underground creates a more harmonious landscape. With the City Emotion programme, RMIG has once again been able to offer innovative technology and materials and to manufacture panels for a facade which is pleasing to the eye, while at the same time focusing on the goal of the project, namely finding environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.
