How to drill a 17.5 m long concrete pile into the ground (2020)Odense Light Rail is building a transformer station on Nyborgvej. The ground is soft and moist, so the foundation must be secured with 21 concrete piles. A huge drilling machine has been used for the work - see how it is done here. We are constructing a transformer station on Nyborgvej. The ground here is soft and moist. Therefore, the foundation must be reinforced with a total of 21 concrete piles. A large drilling machine is used for this work. It drills downward through the soft soil layers. When solid clay appears, the drilling stops. This occurs at about 17.5 meters depth in this location. The drill is then slowly lifted. Simultaneously, free-flowing concrete is pumped into the hole. Once the drill is removed and the hole filled with concrete, iron reinforcement is placed into the concrete. The entire process takes approximately half an hour. The concrete must then set before construction can begin.By Odense Letbane - February 26, 2020.

This is how the light rail departure screens work (2020)Graphic designer Janik Frithioff from Odense Letbane discusses the functions of the platforms' exit screens, which must ensure high readability and ease of use, particularly for blind users. We have developed an information system that displays relevant information on a departure screen. On the platform, you can see when the next train is arriving and in which direction. We can also display additional details on the "3rd line" of the departure screen, informing you of any operational irregularities. Regarding user-friendliness, we focus on displaying relevant and accurate information. For this, we use a specially designed font that ensures high readability, especially from a distance. Even from afar, you can see when your train is leaving. Additionally, we use a solar film to maintain readability even under direct sunlight. The departure screens face challenges because they are located at the ends of the platforms and lack a roof, exposing them to weather, wind, and sunlight. On all platforms, alongside an emergency telephone, we have a TTS button—short for text-to-speech. This device helps blind users; they can feel the button and, when pressed, it announces what is shown on the departure screen. This way, they can always know when the light rail will arrive.By Odense Letbane - November 23, 2020.
