# Double railway success for SYSTRA in Denmark

![Double railway success for SYSTRA in Denmark](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/fehmarnbelt_1360x765-e1588679915247.jpg)

This confirms the dynamism of the local market and the solidity of the Group’s
presence,
[one year after the integration of new local teams](https://www.systra.com/en/news/systra-integrates-three-atkins-entities-in-sweden-denmark-and-norway/)
.

### SYSTRA mobilises for the Femern line

SYSTRA Denmark is to support the completion of the Femern line modernisation
project, one of the country’s most ambitious rail projects. Our teams will be
working on the section between Ringsted and Nykøbing Falster, south of
Copenhagen, drawing on a wide range of specialist expertise, including
[railway engineering](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/conventional-rail/),
track works,
[signalling technologies](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/control-communications/)
, [bridge](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/bridges-viaducts/) and
[tunnel](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/tunnels-underground-structures/)
design, and power supply.

Once in service at the end of the decade, this new 115km line will be
electrified, offer speeds of up to 200km/h and connect the Danish network to the
rest of Europe, thanks in particular to the Fehmarn Belt tunnel. The latter will
link the island of Lolland, in Denmark, to the island of Fehmarn, in Germany,
over a distance of 18km. This will cut train journey times from Hamburg to
Copenhagen to less than 3 hours, compared with around 5 hours today.

> We are very pleased to be able to work again with our long-standing client
> Banedanmark on this project, which will considerably improve the
> interconnection of the Danish network with the rest of Europe, and Germany in
> particular, while meeting our clients’s sustainable development objectives.

### New 4-year framework agreement with Banedanmark

SYSTRA Denmark has been awarded a 4-year contract for safety validation
services. SYSTRA’s long experience and the expertise of our approved validators,
in accordance with local standard QN983 Q no. 1554, have made this new success
possible, which will enable us to check and validate railway interlocking
systems. This will help to ensure the safe and reliable operation of part of the
Danish rail network. This 4-year framework agreement follows a previous contract
of the same duration.

> We are proud to be part of this new framework agreement. When it comes to risk
> management, safety is at the heart of our priorities and, through this
> contract, we are participating in the history of railways in Denmark. We are
> also pleased that SYSTRA is part of the country’s new signalling programme,
> and that we can thus contribute to ensuring that rail infrastructures remain
> as safe and efficient as possible in the future.
> Dorte Wang, Head of Risk Management, SYSTRA Denmark

### Denmark, SYSTRA’s major growth driver and new base

Since the integration of new teams in August 2023, SYSTRA has changed dimension
in Denmark. With over 300 employees now in the country, the Group has reached
the size required to be the benchmark contact for rail engineering and mobility
projects in the country.

Our latest successes in both safety and rail modernisation are in addition to
the many contracts SYSTRA has won for Banedanmark, ranging from passenger
information support to electrification of the entire network. SYSTRA Denmark
thus confirms its status as a reference for the maintenance, upkeep and
renovation of the country’s rail network.
