Christmas greetings from Grontmij og MT Højgaard

Here is a Christmas greeting from Grontmij and MT Højgaard

The addition to the hospital is made on a very limited space, where every inch counts, and the three big trees on the place designated for construction equipment, were doomed. I visited the crew on the scene in February, when they were about to start working, and pleaded with them to spare our tree beautiful trees. "We have to fell them, " they said, "but don't worry, we will replace them after we are done". Only, we know it doesn't work that way, in our unproductive soil. "We will think about it", they said. That's all anyone can ask.

I have been passing by regularly, with my heart beating out of my chest, every time I turned the corner... are they still there? And they are! The sweet people took mercy on us, and worked around the trees. The construction scene is now so progressed that theres is hope, we will keep the trees. The impossible became possible, hooray!

A certified Christmas tale from the real world. This is how it looked today:
