The record-breaking tunnel is built from Denmark to Germany

Denmark and Germany will cut travel times and a record-breaking tunnel within the Baltic Sea, which will improve the connection with Europe.

Fehmarnbelt working for 18 km (11 miles) will be the world’s longest pre-prepared road and railway tunnel.

Also, a fascination of engineering will see the segments of the tunnel on the sea, and then join each other.

The main construction site of the project is located on the northern entrance to the tunnel, on the coast of Lolland Island in the south east of Denmark.

The mechanism includes a factory producing more than 500 hectares (1,235 hectares) and a port and a factory and a factory called “elements”.

“It’s a big object here,” Henrik Vincentsen, Henrik Vincensen, Danish company, which is the establishment of the tunnel, Denmark company.

Each 217 m (712ft) is long and 42 million wide elements are poured with reinforced steel concrete.

The most underwater tunnels – including 50 km of channel tunnel between England and France, Burrow from the seaside. Here, 90 individual elements will be closed with a piece of piece like Lego bricks, part of the piece.

“We break the notes with this project,” says Mr. Vincenten. “Tunnels were built earlier, but never on this scale.”

With the price label of 7.4bn (8.1bn; £ 6.3bn), the scheme was mainly funded by Denmark, which was 1.3 billion euros from the European Commission.

This is among the largest infrastructure projects in the region and plans to strengthen travel relations in the continent in reducing the flight of the EU.

After the completion, the journey between Rødbyhavn in Denmark and Puttgarten in northern Germany will replace a 45-minute ferry trip by 10 minutes or seven minutes.

Western Denmark, a new railway route, as well as between five and 2.5 to 2.5 to 2.5 to 2.5 between five and 2.5 and passengers, will provide a shortcut and passengers.

“It is not only to connect the Denmark to Germany, and the Scandinavian is connected to Central Europe,” Mr. Vincensen. “Everyone is the winner.” “And by traveling less than 160 km, you will also reduce the effects of the carbon and the impact of traffic.”

The tower sits in the base of a steep coastal wall with the tower, the entrance of the tunnel, glittering seawater.

“So now we are in the first part of the tunnel,” he said. One of the five parallel pipes in each element.

Railway lines are two people for two ways (two lanes in each direction) and operation and emergency corridor.

In the other end, large steel doors back up the sea. “As you can hear, it’s pretty thick,” he hits on the metal. “When we have a finished element in Harbor, we will be taken to the ground, and then slowly sink it to the steel doors.”

These elements are not only these elements, but very heavy, weigh more than 73,000 tons. Still incredibly, it gives them enough juice to put water behind the tugboats, making it in the ends and match them with ballast tanks.

Next, 40 meters of 40 meters in the ditch, using water cameras and GPS-managed equipment, use a ditch using a seaside using 15 mm accuracy.

“We should be very careful,” he said, Mr. Wede highlights. “We have a pic structure and weigh a few brooms and several levers with a few levers, slowly drag to the ground.”

Denmark, in the mouth of the Baltic, the sea sits in a sea stretching strips.

With the layers of the clay and bed layer of the chalk, a professor in concrete and structures at Goltermann, Denmark Technical University.

First, a bridge was reviewed, but powerful winds can break traffic and security was a more important idea.

“There was a risk of ships whose bridges. We can build a bridge so that they can withstand it,” he said. “But it’s more in deep water, the biggest ships can swim there.”

Thus, Mr. Goltermann added, decided to go with a sunken tunnel. “They looked at him and said,” Well, what is the cheapest? Tunnel. What is the safest? Tunnel. “

Denmark and Germany signed an agreement to establish a tunnel in 2008, but the scheme ferry operators and the opposition from the environmental influence from the German conservation groups were postponed.

Such an environmental group, NABU (Natural and Biodiversity Protection Association), defended that the Baltic is an important residence for larvae and port porpois, which is sensitive to the underwater noise.

However, in 2020, their legal problem was fired by the Federal Court in Germany, which is the continuation of the green lighted construction.

“It is very small because the impact of this project is as small as possible,” he said.

When the tunnel opened in 2029, women are expected to use more than 100 trains and 12,000 cars every day.

According to plans, income collected from payment payments will pay loans supported by the state funding, and Mr. Vincentsen calculates Mr. Vincentsen to last for four decades. “As a result, users are going to pay,” he says.

Lolland, one of the poorest regions of Denmark, hopes to increase the work, work and tourism.

“Locals here are waiting for this project for many years,” said Mr. Wede, which grows nearby. “They are looking forward to the enterprises that came to the region.”
