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

SYSTRA AWARDED NEW 4-YEAR FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT WITH BANEDANMARK

22 August 2024

SYSTRA has been awarded a 4-year framework agreement with Banedanmark for safety technology validation. With our many years of experience and certified validators, we look forward to continuing to ensure the safety and functionality of the Danish railway.

THE LAST OF ITS KIND

Technical validation in safety is an area where SYSTRA has built extensive experience over many years of work. Our validators are approved by Banedanmark in accordance with the QN983 Q no. 1554 standard, which qualifies us to perform validation of a range of specified safety system types.

SYSTRA previously had a similar 4-year framework agreement, which has now expired, and we are pleased to be entrusted with this new, longer-term agreement. This framework agreement is likely to be the last of its kind, as the new signaling program will gradually replace the old safety systems, and there will therefore no longer be a need for this type of validation once the new systems are fully rolled out in Denmark.

SAFETY AND HISTORY: THE FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE OF RAILWAYS

We are very proud and pleased to be part of the framework agreement and to continue performing these validations for Banedanmark. In Risk Management, safety is our core focus, and we take pride in being part of Denmark’s railway history, especially when we occasionally work with installations that are over 100 years old. At the same time, we are delighted that SYSTRA is part of the Signal Program, thereby contributing to ensuring that the future railway infrastructure remains safe and efficient.
Dorte Wang, head of SYSTRA’s Risk Management department

According to Danish legislation, any modification to a safety system must be validated by an independent entity before an application for commissioning approval can be submitted. The validator ensures that the modification is functional and safe by reviewing the system and standard drawings for the specific change. Based on the results of the validation, i.e., when the number of remarks is deemed safety-compliant, the system is recommended for approval.

At SYSTRA, we look forward to continuing our important work in ensuring the safety and functionality of the Danish railway, both through our current framework agreement and future projects.
