We built platforms at Glostrup Station (2020)In week 49, our contractor, Aarsleff Rail, began laying the concrete elements for the upcoming light rail station at Glostrup Station. Glostrup Station will be the largest station on the light rail route, with over 6,000 passengers on a weekday. Filip Dichmann, Interface and Site Manager at the Capital's Light Rail, tells more about the work in the film.By Hovedstadens Letbane - October 20, 2020.

This is how we lay concrete sleepers (2022)Rails, sleepers, shards! There are many components to keep track of when the rails for Hovedstadens Light Rail need to be in place. Laying down traces is a multi-part process. First, rails are laid, then sleepers are pushed in underneath, and finally ballast (granite shards) is filled into the track, which is adjusted with a special machine that packs the shards around the sleepers so that the track lies solidly. In the video below, you can see what it looks like when our contractor, Aarsleff Rail As, pushes sleepers under the track. It looks cool! The light rail will have two tracks, but one track will be completed in the part of the stretch that is being worked on, so that it can later be used as a working track for heavy machinery that runs on rails, while the other track is being laid.By Hovedstadens Letbane - October 18, 2022.

Visit to Glostrup Ejby Station (2021)Glostrup Ejby Station is the first station of a total of 29 light rail stations to be completed. The station is an experimental model for how the rest of the stations should be designed. It is an advantage to have a prototype in place as soon as possible, so that we know how the stations will play together with the rest of the area. On Monday, Glostrup's mayor John Engelhardt and regional council chairman Sophie Hæstorp et al. out to inspect the station.By Hovedstadens Letbane - May 20, 2021.

Drone film tour along the light rail (2023)Would you like to know precisely where the green light rail train will debut? During the spring, our drone photographer filmed along the light rail's future route. The film shows both the status of the construction and the beautiful surroundings surrounding the light rail. Take a look and enjoy the trip from Ishøj to Lundtofte in less than five minutes.By Hovedstadens Letbane - August 25, 2023.

Information about the light rail work in Lyngby Centre (2021)In Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, light rail work is gaining momentum, which can be seen and heard in the streetscape. To help you follow the process, we have asked our Senior Project Manager, Niels Brock, to provide more information about our contractor, Per Aarsleff's, work in the Lyngby center and the future traffic in the area.By Hovedstadens Letbane - July 22, 2021.

Switches in place at the ramp to Glostrup Station (2023)Do you remember our "Diamond" at the Control and Maintenance Centre? Our contractors, Siemens and Aarsleff Rail, are currently building a scaled-down version of the large ramp that will lead to the future light rail station at Glostrup. As you can see in the video, the turnouts are delivered "whole" - and not in parts that must subsequently be welded together. This is because switch tracks must be made to millimeter accuracy, as they contain several moving parts that help the train turn up and down the ramp. You can compare the switching tracks to a car engine. When you buy a car, the engine does not come in parts. It is also completely assembled at the factory. The tracks laid on the straight sections of the route also require precision, of course, but they are easier to lay by eye because they do not consist of moving components.By Hovedstadens Letbane - January 16, 2023.
