technical tours
A number of Technical Visits will be provided on Friday the 24th of April. The Visits will be to various larger Projects such as : The Femern Belt Tunnel, The new Storestroems Bridge, the Nordhavns Tunnel in Copenhagen, the many Bridges in Copenhagen.
The Technical Visits will be accessible to accompanying persons as well.
| Femarn Tunnel This site visit will give you a chance to learn more about the construction of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, which will be a fixed link between Denmark and Germany. The tour is an opportunity to visit the exhibition centre at Rødbyhavn. The technical tour offers insight into all aspects of the project. Duration of the tour is estimated to 8 hours with bus. Departure and arrival at the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center. New Storstrøms Bridge, and demolished of the old Bridge Between Copenhagen and the new Femern-connection between Denmark and Germany the railway crosses Storstrømmen. Due to aging and fatigue problems on the existing bridge over Storstrømmen it was decided to build a new bridge with two highspeed railtracks, a two lane local road and a combined pedestrian/cycle path. The total length of the bridge is about 4000 meters. The existing bridge has to be demolished, and we will have an overview of how that will be done. Nordhavns Tunnel The Tunnel will be 1,4 km long, and it is a continuation of an exsisting tunnel of 900 m in length. TThe new Tunnel is prepared for further extension to an eastly Ringroad as Tunnel to Copenhagen Airport. The Construction take part in the middle of Copenhagen, and is going under the biggest Lightboat-harbour in Denmark. The total cost of the Project is about 4 bio. Dkr, and the Tunnel is expected opened for traffic in the middle of 2027. The Forest Tower (Skovtårnet) The 45 meter high Forest Tower in Gisselfeld Kloster’s forest is a unique natural experience in Zealand, where you see the forest in completely new perspectives. Over the Skovtårnet’s architecture, the South Zealand nature and the magnificent view from the top of the Skovtårnet high above the crowns of the trees. Because here – in the middle of Gisselfeld’s forests – you get a sensual experience, from the first time you see the 45 meter high forest tower, until you stand at the top of the lookout tower and look out over the South Zealand landscape. Copenhagen's Bicycle Infrastructure – guided bike or walking tour The tour will take the participants through a sample of Copenhagen’s bicycle infrastructure, including iconic solutions like the Bicycle Snake and the busiest bike path in the World on Queen Louise’s Bridge. We will also look at solutions for pedestrians, universal design and urban design. We will make stops at some of the interesting locations and discuss pros and cons of the solutions we see. The Øresund Bridge The Øresund Bridge is part of the Øresund Link connecting Denmark and Sweden opened in 2000. The bridge is approx. 8 km long and consist of 7 km approach bridges and the largest cable-stayed bridge in Europe carrying both road and rail. The two-level girder for the cable-stayed bridge is a composite truss in steel and concrete. The approach bridges have a two-level composite superstructure. |
