Fehmarn - the biggest mega structure to Date
Our deliveries to Fehmarn became an important milestone for Give Steel. Planning for this massive project has required Give Steel to put in an extraordinary amount of work at every level of the company. After signing the turnkey contract, Give Steel took on almost 100 additional workers, including two local apprentices from Lolland.
The many tonnes of steel structures for the three production halls required an extremely well-coordinated combined effort between Give Steel and FLC, who are responsible for the design and construction of the immersed Fehmarnbelt tunnel. Throughout the process, Give Steel has had to focus on avoiding wasted time and “double handling” of the large steel beams. The 53 main columns for the production halls weigh a total of 21 tonnes and measure 27.4 metres in height. We expect to complete the final delivery as subcontractors during the summer of 2023.

180 tonnes to Fehmarn – every week
Give Steel delivered an average of approximately 180 tonnes of steel structures every week throughout 2022 to the construction site in Rødbyhavn.
“Fehmarn has been Give Steel’s biggest and most challenging project to date. Never before have we faced such high requirements regarding reporting, environmental standards, and quality control. We have had to develop considerably and adapt many of our own internal limits. This project has meant a massive upgrade of our competencies,” says Rasmus Østergaard, Project Manager at Give Steel.
Three production halls with façade solutions
At the Rødbyhavn construction site, a total of three factory halls have been built, covering a combined area of 76,800 m². Besides the supporting steel structure, which weighs over 10,000 tonnes, Give Steel has enclosed approximately 135,000 m² with façade solutions including roofing. This roofing and façade solution is so extensive that, following the Fehmarn project, Give Steel established its own façade department for both the design and execution of roofing and façade constructions.
Give Steel is delivering the three production halls to Femern Link Contractors (FLC), who are building on behalf of Femern A/S. FLC is responsible for the design and construction of the immersed tunnel for the Fehmarn Belt Tunnel. The 18 km-long Fehmarnbelt tunnel is expected to be completed by mid-2029 and will reduce travel times between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe.
