Aarsleff Rail Wins Two Major Banedanmark Projects in Aarhus
Aarsleff Rail has just secured two major railway contracts for Banedanmark in Aarhus, with a total contract value of approximately DKK 213 million. The projects place high demands on planning, railway safety, and technical expertise – and involve the full range of Aarsleff Rail’s core competencies.
The two projects are:
- Bridge Package 1: Work on and around three bridges south of Aarhus Central Station.
- Aarhus Central – Contract 2: Track renewal of the arrival tracks west of Aarhus Central Station.
Both tasks fall within our core competencies: challenging track and construction work with complex logistics and railway safety requirements.
Collaboration with Per Aarsleff
Aarsleff Rail will be responsible for the majority of the execution of both projects, with support from Per Aarsleff, particularly for Bridge Package 1, which involves extensive earthworks, sewer, and foundation work.
