Gotthard Advances On Tracks Tunnels

摘要

Preparations to implement the recently signed trackwork and equipment contract for the Gotthard Tunnel project are getting underway as excavations and concrete lining works continue to make steady progress. The US$1.5bn trackwork and equipment contract - the last big contract to be awarded on the 57km long twin bore rail project through the Swiss Alps - was awarded just over a year ago to the Transtec Gotthard Consortium. The JV comprises Atel Installationstechnik, Alcatel-Lucent Schweiz, TRSS Thales Rail Signalling Solutions, Alpine-Bau, and Balfour Beatty Rail. It has appointed Poyry to provide engineering services under a US$15.8M contract.
