Object description:

In the station Lax the BehiG was implemented, in connection with these works a total reconstruction of track 1 and 2 took place. In addition an outside platform was newly built and made accessible with a new passenger underpass to be built with ramps incl. a roofing. The building platform was extended and raised. This in turn triggered adaptation work on the surroundings of the station building, on the drainage of the track and public facilities, on the overhead line and cable system, and on the customer information system. 

 

Special requirements:

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