The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link Project is the final stage in the realisation of a straight traffic corridor between Scandinavia and continental Europe. It will be an immersed tunnel containing two dual carriageways and a twin-track railway traversing the 19 km distance across the Fehmarnbelt (*transportation infrastructure) between Rødbyhavn on the island of Lolland in Denmark and Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn in northern Germany. The Tunnel Electrical and Mechanical ('TEM') contract covers the mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (MEICA) systems for the tunnel. The purpose of the MEICA systems is to enable Femern A/S to efficiently control the operation, maintenance, safety and security of the tunnel through an integrated set of systems. Femern A/S requires MEICA systems that deliver a high level of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety.
