What fascinates you about your work?

I am fascinated by accompanying unique, large-scale structures from the idea on paper to the functional infrastructure facility.

When do you particularly enjoy a project?

When a facility that has been planned and built over many years goes into operation for the first time and I see how it works, that is a special moment.
