This was the main reason for the Danish National Rail Authority to assign Grontmij in Denmark as lead consultant for a large-scale railway project in Copenhagen.

Grontmij in Denmark has been working on the general consulting contract for the Danish National Rail Authority’s Copenhagen-Ringsted railway project.

Lead consultant
As lead consultant Grontmij in Denmark has initially assisted the Rail Authority in planning and preparing invitations to tender for technical consulting contracts. The longer-term result will be two proposals – one for the new railway line from Copenhagen via Køge to Ringsted and another for the extension of the existing railway network between Hvidovre and Høje Taastrup.

Highly interesting
"In Denmark Grontmij covers all the necessary technical fields. This is a highly interesting project in that it will require us to deal with environmental conditions and construction work as well as railway technology", says Business Unit Director Transportation Denmark Arne Buhl Petersen.

The project is well in line with the consulting services provided by Grontmij in Denmark in connection with the refurbishment of the Copenhagen Central Station. In the Netherlands Grontmij has headed similar projects like the establishment of the Betuwe railway line from Rotterdam to the German border.
