On track

The Tunnel, Track and Catenary (TTC) contract on the railroad portion of the Fehmarn tunnel is to be put out to tender in spring next year. Femern A/S has asked potential bidders to prepare for the prequalification.

Hopefully, the developer will have a little more choice than they had in the tender for the substation, where only two bidders remained after a Bravida-led consortium pulled out. That contract ended with Spanish Elecnor, which is involved in the same Spanish cartel case as Grupo Cobra, which will be responsible for the technical installations in the tunnel.

On the construction site, FLC is in full swing constructing a gigantic floating gate in concrete that will let water in and out of the basin in front of the element factory.

Everything is on track. Have a great weekend, and thanks for reading.
