At the meeting, the Board discussed Metroselskabet's work to reduce the nuisance caused by audible trains and developments over the summer. In April 2021, with the assistance of external specialists, the company launched a number of initiatives that reduced the vibration level to a lower level. Since then, the situation has been closely monitored, and the lower vibration level has remained stable. In addition, in collaboration with the supplier and operator of M3/M4, Hitachi Rail, three tests were carried out during the summer, and the ongoing analysis work will show whether the vibration level can be reduced further. The results of the current measures are expected to be available in September. Approximately 15,000 households are located in close proximity to the M3 Cityringen. A total of 448 households have contacted Metroselskabet regarding noise from operations since December 2019.

The Board also discussed the conclusions of the in-depth investigation launched immediately after the tragic fatal accident at the Ny Ellebjerg metro construction site on May 4, 2021. The purpose of the investigation was to clarify the circumstances surrounding the accident and to identify preventive measures for the further work on M4 Sydhavn and the company's other construction projects.

"The tragic fatal accident has been a heavy blow to Metroselskabet's work to promote a good safety culture on construction projects. However, we still have a very clear goal that no one should be injured on the projects. Therefore, Metroselskabet, together with the main contractor, TUNN3L, has initiated a thorough investigation led by external specialists. This work has now been completed, and based on the conclusions of the investigation, a number of measures have been implemented to strengthen safety on construction sites and help prevent similar accidents from happening again," says Jørn Neergaard Larsen, Chairman of the Board of Metroselskabet.

The results of the investigation and a description of the specific measures have been published on Metroselskabet's website. 

The new measures – several of which have already been implemented – cover organization, technology, and training and include the installation of cameras on all tower cranes, an updated procedure for crane lifting, and enhanced and expanded training and education for the relevant employees.

Finally, the Board also discussed the tasks that Metroselskabet must perform in connection with the political agreement to initiate environmental studies on the metro to Lynetteholm in conjunction with the other projects at Lynetteholm. This includes the company's input to the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) that was decided in connection with the adoption of the Construction Act. The SEA will not only cover the construction of the island of Lynetteholm, but also the subsequent and related projects, including the metro to Lynetteholm and the Eastern Ring Road.
