WHERE TRAFFIC MEETS

A new double-track electrified railway is being built between Copenhagen and Ringsted some 70 kilometres southwest of the Danish capital. The line is being prepared for passenger trains running at speeds of up to 250 km/h and will be the first in Denmark capable of being used by high-speed trains.

As part of the new line a station – Køge North – is being built in Køge 45 km southwest of Copenhagen. Here the motorway, an S-train line and the future high-speed line will meet – turning the area into a regional transport hub and an obvious location for a large park and ride facility. Køge North Station is to promote railway transport in Denmark and make it possible for all passengers to change from one mode of transportation to another.

A quite significant part of the Køge North Station is a 225-metres pedestrian bridge. Divisions of the BMS Group have been involved in the project for a longer period of time. In 2017 three massive cranes from BMS Krangården conducted several coordinated ballet performances as they balanced the elements of the pedestrian bridge in place.

Together with BMS Copenhagen they also took care of the transport, lifting, and construction of temporary supports of the six major steel sections as well as the installation of all stairs and escalators over railroad tracks and roadways. BMS Group Engineering was also heavily involved in the project as this part of the organisation helped planning the lifting as well as the transportation – to ensure a high level of safety and quality for all BMS employees and partners. In addition, the engineers provided the design of four steel towers that were used to maintain the bridge sections at seven metres in height while they were being welded together into one long bridge. The construction of the bridge sections made the elements extremely wind-sensitive, and therefore there were high demands for stability and strength of the supporting towers.

Each of the bridge sections weighed between 120 and 170 tons and had a length of 35 to 45 metres and a cross section of 9.7 x 6.6 metres.
