Arup and Ramboll team up for Copenhagen metro

10 Feb 15 A joint venture of Arup and Ramboll has been appointed to develop Copenhagen’s new orbital light rail project.

The Light Rail on Ring project will follow the Ring 3 orbital motorway around the Danish capital. The 27km double-track system will have 27 stations with a rolling stock fleet of 27 light rail vehicles.

Client Metroselkabet intends that the line will promote the use of public transport as well as encourage the urban development along the route.

Arup’s role as part of the joint venture includes the design coordination and technical integration of the light rail systems, the design of the control and maintenance centre, traction power, ground bourne noise and vibration modelling.

The line will follow the route of the Ring 3 motorway around the edge of Copenhagen, linking 11 municipalities, from Lundhofte in the north to Ishoj in the south. It will run a service of light rail vehicles every five minutes at peak times with an expected journey time of 55 minutes for the 27km.

Arup is already working on for Metroselskabt on Cityringen and Nordhavn underground routes, which are currently under construction.
