15th June - Seminar The Fehmarnbelt link - INVITATION

Location

HET INGENIEURSHUIS, Desguinlei 214, 2018 Antwerpen.


Introduction

The Fehmarnbelt link is one of Europe’s most extensive construction projects to date. The 18 km Fehmarnbelt tunnel will connect Rødbyhavn on Lolland in Denmark with the island of Fehmarn in Germany. In addition to the immersed tunnel Femern A/S is responsible for, the Fehmarnbelt link comprises landworks on the Danish and German sides. The railway - on both sides of the Fehmarnbelt - is being upgraded to two electrified tracks that can handle speeds of up to 200 km/hr. When the tunnel is completed, the train journey from Hamburg to Copenhagen will take well under three hours.

The tunnel will be user-financed – the same model that was used for the Storebælt and Øresund fixedlinks. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel’s payback period is 28 years. The tunnel project funds the investments for upgrading the railway between Ringsted and Rødby.

Given the huge infrastructure works associated with this megaproject, a number of Belgian companies have also taken the opportunity to participate. In this webinar, they share their experiences of working in the project, in a different culture and with different rules of the game.


Target audience – Number of participants


We warmly invite all partners from the engineering world to participate in this seminar. Representatives from the construction companies, construction industry, public and private owners, engineering offices, academic sector, consultants, architects and students. The program is also offering opportunities for asking questions and for discussion, thus trying to stimulate numerous reactions and valuable comments or concerns. We want to stimulate an interesting exchange of opinions on our Belgian expertise within the international forum. We hope that each participant leaves the seminar filled with interesting thoughts and inspired for further discussion.

(maximum capacity of the room is 100)
