HD has played a key role in the seventh phase of the development of HS Orka's power plant in Svartsengi \u2013 one of the largest energy projects in the country at present. This is an ambitious and challenging project which involves a one-third capacity increase and significant improvements to the hot water production.<\/b><\/p>

As has been reported in the news, another eruption began last night in the Sundhn\u00fakur volcanic rift zone \u2013 the ninth in the series, or the twelfth since a new eruption period began on the Reykjanes Peninsula in March 2021. The eruption is not considered to threaten infrastructure, and no gas contamination is being detected at the site. Work at Svartsengi is therefore continuing \u2013 now with an active eruption in the background.<\/p>

Volcanic eruptions are always magnificent and remind us of our precious and unpredictable coexistence with nature. It is incredible how quickly such natural disasters become part of the daily lives of those who work in the area.<\/p>

Collaboration between HD and HS Orka<\/a> It has been characterised by trust and professionalism from the outset, despite the challenges posed by the forces of nature in recent months. Earthquakes have repeatedly necessitated temporary evacuations, but the operation has nevertheless continued with safety and resolve.<\/p>

It is clear that a united team and focused collaboration deliver results \u2013 even in difficult and unpredictable situations. At HD, we are proud of our people and the professionalism we demonstrate in our work, day in, day out.\u00a0<\/p>

We continue to stand guard \u2013 with responsibility, professionalism and a solution-oriented mindset at the forefront.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
