In connection with this, Atkins has conducted a global market screening in order to clarify potential future suppliers of electric trains. The market screening resulted in a report indicating which trains fulfil the requirements and which trains do not. Atkins in the UK has already done fundamental investigations into this area of rolling stock; however, with this market screening, conducted from a Danish perspective, Atkins in Denmark continues to develop our knowledge within rolling stock.

The signaling system in Södertälje is an area system comprising three stations and has interfaces to 4 adjacent signaling systems. It controls approximately 120 signals and 55 switches. Atkins conducted both feasibility studies and detailed design.

Atkins’ work on the project has entailed various elements within rail engineering consultancy, including conducting challenging geotechnical analyses as part of our preparation of the area. Furthermore, Atkins is responsible for the design and built of all technical areas, including road, bridges, structures and risk assessments.

In connection with the implementation of new train units, it was necessary to extend the length of the platform to 250 m – a challenging project as there is only room for a platform of 220 m. The platform extension on Lier was successfully commissioned on 15 September 2012 at the scheduled due date.

During the rebuild, the motorway will not be closed for traffic and therefore, from the beginning, one challenge on the project has been to ensure the least amount of problems for the daily users of the motorway. This has involved a close cooperation between the Danish Road Directorate and the consultant parties as well as a thorough planning of the construction work.
