With the construction of the fixed link across the Great Belt, a bridge and tunnel construction programme of extraordinary dimensions on a world wide scale will complete a high-class infrastructure programme of bridges and tunnels in Denmark.
The 8 km bored railway tunnel between Zealand and Sprogų, the 6.6 km combined road and railway bridge between Sprogų and Funen and the 6.8 km suspension bridge for road traffic connecting Zealand and Sprogų, each structure in itself constituting a project of remarkable magnitude, are described.
On both a national and international scale, the project is large and complex, with many interfaces between participants from different countries. The designed lifetime ofthe structures is l00 years, and in some areas technology is being used that is new to the Danish tradition. All of these factors led to a decision to use and to require all participants to use quality management based on well documented systems at all stages of the project.
Experience from implementing systematic quality assurance on a large scale project with many foreign participants shall be presented.
Operation and maintenance of the link have commenced. Following the international trends a management system combining quality, environmental, health and safety management has been developed and implemented. Also, this system will be presented.
