Within the Rambøll-Atkins-Emch+Berger-Parsons joint venture, Emch+Berger has provided the following main services:

Feasibility study: leading the technical and safety work stream; provide input to many key findings on how to achieve such a large migration within a reasonable time frame without disturbing daily operations; setting up a model counting the new signalling assets as a basis for the budget

Procurement phase: Technical project management of the elaboration of the tender documents and the bid assessment, providing contents for several disciplines, writing of the bid assessment reports

Design phase: Key contribution to management of design and development; discipline leadership in traffic management, automated dispatching, timetabling, signalling design to capacity, development of use cases covering the entire railway operation, ETCS level 2, testing; management of project controls; key inputs to the identification of business changes within Banedanmark
