What we offer

Ramboll has more than 50 years’ experience bringing major crossings to life on projects such as the Great Belt Bridge connecting Denmark and the Queensferry Crossing, the world’s longest three-tower cable-stayed bridge. And we have provided the detailed design for the Fehmarnbelt Link, which when completed will be the largest immersed tunnel in the world.

We work closely with our clients to understand and meet their individual needs and provide public authorities and contractors with expertise across the entire infrastructure life cycle, from early stage concept and feasibility studies to detailed design, through to operation and maintenance.

Our Bridge team works on all types of bridges and has a reputation for innovation based on projects such as Gateshead Millennium Bridge - the first tilting bridge in the world. The Tunnels team’s expertise encompasses tunnels for metro systems, railways such as the Malmoe City Tunnel, roads, highways as well as world-class designs for soft ground tunneling, immersed tunnels, cut and cover tunnels, and hard rock tunnels.
