Object description:

The project total reconstruction Mattsand is located between St. Niklaus and Herbriggen on a length of 1235 m. The core element is the new construction of the crossing point with additional structural measures for supplementary use. Due to wear and tear, a renewal of the track's substructure and superstructure must be carried out along the entire route. To ensure compliance with the clearance gauge, in particular the service road on both sides, the track geometry will be optimized by shifting the track a maximum of 40 cm towards the valley after the Bielzug culvert in the direction of Herbriggen. The drainage and the cable system (new signal box, NS & Telecom, fuse systems) will be renewed along the entire line. For the realization of the total reconstruction, various artificial structures will be erected.

 

Special requirements:

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