Next-gen high speed rail in Sweden
Mission: find out location and connectivity of the tracks
Ramboll’s assignment was to investigate a suitable rail corridor to deliver better journey times and accessibility, while minimising the impact on the environment or nearby inhabitants.
This needed a holistic approach, using learnings from both previous assessment experiences and new perspectives. This included that the experiences from similar work done on the East Link Rail Project should be drawn upon. The East Link Rail Project was also a part of the new High speed rail from Stockolm to Gothenbourg.. The result was to be increased capacity for the railways, better and faster passenger traffic, and a positive contribution to regional development.
Faster and more sustainable travel
Communication, innovation, and sustainability are as important as the technical expertise to create a successful solution.
Our role was to investigate locations in the initial part of this project. Since we demovered this to our client, Ramboll has won the Works for taking part of the line to Planning permission stage, now without it being high speed.
