FemernReport was lauched on the first of October this year. In our first three months of existence, two tender winners have been named, an old deep-water bomb near the tunnel trench has been blown up, a full-scale tunnel segment has been trial cast, the working port in Rødbyhavn has been completed and handed over and the element factory is almost ready to start casting. The construction site is largely finished, and the tunnel trench is more than 70 percent dug.
In 2023, work will begin on constructing and casting the world’s longest immersed tunnel, casting the tunnel portal and constructing the transformer station. And then we await the decision on the last major tender – namely the TTC contact on the railway part of the Fehmarn connection.
We look forward to continuing to follow the work, and we look forward to you following along. We will be back on January 2nd.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Wild year for equipment rental in Rødby
GSV has had almost everything running this year. It has been especially the very large machines that have been bid for by the Fehmarn construction site. From next year, demand is expected to be especially for large lifts.
Four million tonnes of Norwegian stone on their way to the element factory
The Norwegian Mibau Stema Group is to supply four million tonnes of aggregates to the Femernbyggeriet. This means more than 150 sailings between the quarry and the working port.
The Fehmarn tunnel needs 100,000 mWh per year
The Fehmarn tunnel will be stuffed with the most modern and energy-efficient technology. Still, it will use as much electricity as a medium-sized Danish provincial town.
Pressure gauge halves the casting time for concrete
The casting pressure gauge ISC (InSite Construction) can halve the casting time and make the process simpler. Among other things, Peri has sold the meter to the Fehmarn project.

New campaign to lure young people to the steel
In 2030, there will be a shortage of up to 1,900 skilled workers in the blacksmith trade alone, if the political objective of 70 per cent. reduction of CO2 emissions must be realized. A new campaign must remedy that.
Fehmarn construction site is making good money at Aarsleff
