Supporting the Elbe X Power Tunnel with Temporary Pipe and Cable Support Solutions

We are proud to contribute to the Elbe X Power Tunnel Project, a landmark development designed to strengthen the regional energy network in Northern Germany. As part of this important initiative, Transforge UK Ltd is supplying temporary pipe support systems that play a vital role during construction, ensuring the tunnel operates safely and efficiently as it is being built.

The Purpose of the Elbe X Power Tunnel

The Elbe X Power Tunnel is being constructed to provide a secure underground route for high-voltage transmission cables and essential utilities. By relocating critical infrastructure below ground, the project enhances grid reliability and safety, while reducing the environmental and visual impact associated with overhead lines. During construction, temporary supports are essential for managing pipes safely until permanent systems are installed.

Our Contribution: Temporary Pipe Supports

Even though these supports are not permanent, they are critical to the safe and efficient progress of the tunnel. Our temporary solutions for the Elbe X project are designed to:

• Provide Reliable Temporary Support – Safely carry the weight of pipes during construction.
• Enable Quick Installation and Removal – Modular design allows supports to be installed as tunnelling advances and removed on tunnel completion.
• Maintain Safety Standards – Ensure compliance with tunnelling safety requirements while crews work underground.
• Adapt to Construction Progress – Flexible and robust solutions that move forward with the TBM and evolving tunnel layout.

Partnering for Safe and Efficient Construction

By supplying temporary support systems, we help the project team keep operations on schedule while maintaining high safety standards. These supports ensure that essential services are secure throughout the construction phase, laying the groundwork for the tunnel’s long-term reliability.

Building Energy Infrastructure for the Future

The Elbe X Power Tunnel is more than a construction project — it represents a step toward a smarter, more resilient energy grid. We are proud that our temporary pipe supports play a key role in making this ambitious vision a reality.
