Night work comes into play for MGB: renovation of retaining wall

It runs 144 km through the most beautiful areas of our Alps and connects Zermatt via Andermatt with St. Moritz: the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway. Recently, the Volken Group renovated an old retaining wall made of natural stone near Niederwald. This mostly involved night work, as the structure is very close to the MGB tracks. Over a length of around 110 m, our specialists replaced the existing wall crown with a new one using a 5-ton excavator and a great deal of manual labor. They also installed 45 m³ of concrete and 5 t of reinforcement. The company Voweg AG was used for the new road surface above the wall.
Are you also considering renovating a wall or concrete structures? The Volken Group will be happy to help you with the implementation on schedule.
