Independent checker for MEP design for the Stortrom Bridge Project

Back in May 2018, GmásP MEP department became part of the independent checkers for the STORSTROMBROEN project. It is a 4000-meter-long bridge between the island of Masnedo and Falser located in Denmark.

STORSTROMBROEN is an iconic project for Denmark: two high-speed lines, a dual carriageway for traffic road and a cycle path. This gigantic infrastructure is a key project that would improve Denmark’s road and rail network and it will also replace the old Storstrom bridge built in autumn 1932 as it has already reached the end of its useful life cycle.

The box girder bridge has an average width of 11m. Along the interior of the principal girder MEP installations are designed: electrical installation for low and medium voltage (design power of 212kW), firefighting and fire detection systems, lighting, communication, and control. In both abutments of the bridge exists control rooms that in addition are equipped with plumbing, drainage, and HVAC systems.

The project also includes a protection system against atmospheric discharges (through rebars), architectural lighting and navigational.
