SICE-COBRA has won various contracts in the Nordic countries in recent years. In Sweden, it has contracts for the “Stockholm, Bypass” motorway, the northern and southern extensions of the Stockholm Metro, and the Tingstad tunnel in Gothenburg. Last year in Norway, it won the contract to implement the electro-mechanical installations along 23 kilometres of the motorway between Ranheim and Værnes, including a total of 15 kilometres of tunnels.
In a statement released after the signing of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel contract the consortium announced that “SICE-COBRA is proud to be part of one of the most iconic infrastructure projects in Europe.”
As with the other major contracts on the Fehmarnbelt project, the consortium is expected to use a large number of sub-contractors. The consortium is also required to take on apprentices.
