Project description:

The Disability Discrimination Act was implemented at Lax station, and in connection with this work track 1 and 2 were completely rebuilt. In addition, a new outside platform was built and made accessible with a new pedestrian underpass with ramps including a roof. The house platform was extended and raised. This in turn triggered adaptation work on the surroundings of the station building, on the drainage of the tracks and public facilities, on the overhead line and cable system and on the customer information system.

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)
