Nordic Municipal Engineering: Lava Barrier Design and Construction

The presentation addresses the rapid design and construction of lava barriers to protect Grindavík and the Svartsengi Power Plant during Iceland's volcanic crisis. Strong collaboration, real-time risk assessment, and sending 3D models directly to heavy machinery enabled simultaneous design and construction under extreme time pressure, offering key lessons in emergency preparedness and infrastructure resilience.

At a time when all that matters is being called into question in the Nordic region, the role of the municipal engineers gets the eyes and the attention of the politicians.

We in the Nordic region have the Ukrainian war in our backyard, and we are now joining forces to share issues we are working on.

During the week you will meet municipal engineers who are working on different aspects, enabling the robustness in our countries now, when we are entering a new every day.
