<\/p>\nFehrmarnbelt Link’s tunnel design (stretching for 18 km) aimed to link Lolland Falster in Denmark to Schleswig Holstein in Germany gets a go-ahead.
\nThe proposed immersed tunnel is arguably one of Europe’s mega-projects, designed to focus on public transport’s improvement, supporting the tourism industry and economic growth simultaneously.
\nThe project is being delivered for Femern A\/S by a consortium of VINCI Construction Grands Projets (leading contractor for the two tunnels), Per Aarsleff (leading contractor for the portal), Royal BAM Group, Sol\u00e9tanche-Bachy International, CFE, Dredging International, and Max B\u00f6gl Stiftung & Co.<\/p>\n

\nAn 8 kilometers long trench (60 m wide x 16 m deep) in the seabed must be placed. Thereafter tunnel elements made of concrete, each weighing 73,000 tonnes, will be “towed by large tugboats before being lowered down.”
\nPlease check the following link<\/a> to see how the tunnel will be built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
