Project description:

The Matterhorn Gotthard Railway (MGBahn) is comprehensively modernizing its vehicle fleet. These developments require adjustments and extensions to the existing depots and workshops in Glisergrund. Eastern and western hall extensions, a new underfloor lifting system, a new washing facility and several conversion works in the existing buildings are being realized. At the same time, the track field and the signal box are renewed. New sidings, a new outer pit, a new track share and new catenary systems will be installed in the track field. In addition, the substructure, superstructure and drainage will be brought up to the current state of construction, and the safety installations and service lines will be adapted or supplemented accordingly.

Requirements:

  • Work during rail operations
  • Work under traffic (railroad operation) with tight space conditions
  • Complicated logistics as a result of restricted access routes, handling areas
  • Two-shift operation (night and day work)
