Pfyn

70 bar, 3.5 km and less than 24 hours.

We are relocating the Rhone Valley natural gas pipeline (ELR) for the expansion of the A9 in Pfynwald. And we are doing this while the line is in full operation!

Before the old pipeline is taken off the grid, the new one has to be installed, tested and 100% ready down to the last millimeter. The #TeamVolken has a maximum time window of 24 hours for the replacement. No room for error.

We can only master open-heart surgery like this with precise planning, the highest safety standards and blind trust on the construction site. We are damn proud of that!
