Rail

Railway

SYSTRA Denmark has been actively involved in the planning and design of new facilities, as well as the upgrading and maintenance of Denmark’s rail infrastructure for decades. Our consulting approach is driven by a desire to help infrastructure owners and operators—both national and international—meet changing demands from passengers, operators, and authorities for flexibility, comfort, safety, and sustainability.

Urban transit

Metro

In Denmark, SYSTRA has been involved in all existing metro lines in the Copenhagen metro. Internationally, SYSTRA has contributed to nearly 1 in 2 metro lines worldwide. We have participated in building systems from the ground up, developing new lines, expansions, optimizations, and fully automating existing infrastructure. Our experts cover all aspects of metro projects, from initial studies and design to operations and maintenance.

Light rail

Light rail offers transportation to travelers within limited urban spaces where cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians takes up much space. At SYSTRA, we conduct studies and analyses of light rail as an alternative to buses, cars, or metro systems in urban areas. Our extensive technical expertise in rail transport has been applied to light rail projects worldwide, including in Denmark and Norway.

Roads and motorways

Roads and urban spaces

Modern road networks and urban spaces must meet today’s demands for sustainability, climate adaptation, accessibility, and traffic safety. This forms the basis for our solutions in the development of new infrastructure, renovations, or maintenance of roads and public spaces. We engage in all phases of the process, from early-stage planning and land development to design, preparation of drawings and technical specifications, and creating tender documents, as well as providing support during the construction phase.

Motorways

At SYSTRA, we are involved in everything from the planning and design of new motorways to feasibility studies and the design of motorway expansions, along with all associated aspects such as environmental considerations, geotechnics, bridges, interchanges, and climate resilience. Additionally, we focus on noise reduction solutions, such as noise barriers and covers for motorways.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Paths

In larger Danish cities, there is a common desire to reduce traffic congestion and emissions from vehicles, and a clear solution is to increase pedestrian and cycling traffic. SYSTRA develops strategic initiatives that make walking and cycling an attractive alternative to driving and a natural complement to public transportation. We provide comprehensive consulting services with a wide range of measures, from creating pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly roads and urban spaces to bicycle parking and innovative solutions, all tailored to the specific context and challenges.

Bridge and Structures

Bridges

Bridges play a crucial role in infrastructure projects. From large connection bridges spanning fjords, straits, and belts to valley bridges on land, as well as wildlife, pedestrian, and bicycle bridges. SYSTRA has experience in all phases of a bridge project—from initial studies and design to operation and maintenance. We are committed to exploring more sustainable alternatives in bridge construction, which is why we continuously work on life cycle assessment (LCA) calculations and the use of new and more sustainable types of concrete, as well as timber structures as alternatives to concrete and steel.

Tunnels

SYSTRA has been involved in major tunnel projects around the world, such as the Euralpin Lyon-Turin Tunnel, the Ismailia twin-tube road tunnel under the Suez Canal, the renovation of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, and the largest underground railway project in Europe: the Grand Paris Express in the Paris region.

Other construction

We leverage our specialized knowledge in the design and maintenance of load-bearing structures in various contexts related to both construction and infrastructure. In addition to bridges and tunnels, SYSTRA works with other types of structures, such as harbor facilities, wastewater systems, and scaffolding constructions.

Digital solutions

System Development

At SYSTRA, we have extensive experience in system development, delivering IT products, and providing consultancy services to both public and private organizations. Our solutions are highly versatile, yet they all share a common goal: to streamline processes in critical societal areas such as case management, infrastructure, climate, and mobility. We offer system development, digitalization consultancy, and our own IT products for case management, which we tailor to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Geodata/GIS

At SYSTRA, we have extensive expertise in consulting and system development in the GIS field, with significant experience from GIS projects both in Denmark and internationally. Our IT consultancy can encompass everything from needs assessments to the development of GIS and digitalization strategies, leveraging our wide-ranging expertise. In addition to our broad and deep knowledge, our independence is a key strength. We recommend the technological solution that best aligns with your needs and strategic guidelines.

Energy

Energy supply

Wherever there are people, there is a need for a stable power supply for our homes, businesses, street lighting, platforms, charging infrastructure, electric vehicles, trains, and urban light rail or metro systems, among others. We provide consultancy in all aspects of energy supply.

Transmission and Distribution

At SYSTRA, we assist municipalities, agencies, and utility companies with projects that demand high standards for safe distribution and transmission. The green transition and the rapidly increasing demand for electricity have significantly accelerated developments in the energy sector, where transmission and distribution play a crucial role. At SYSTRA, we provide interdisciplinary consultancy for all types of projects related to transmission and distribution.
