The Swiss, well-known for their tunnel constructions, have enhanced their reputation with the recent Gotthard Tunnel breakthrough which has created the world's longest tunnel. And in Bern, a roundabout is being re-positioned almost 10m under the ground, which will transform a somewhat dismal road intersection into an attractive gateway to the country's capital.
PERI provided a comprehensive formwork solution for the realisation of the massive beams, reinforced concrete slab along with the conically-sh
The northern Spanish city of Bilbao looks set to benefit from a major tunnel construction project aimed at reducing traffic congestion on its vehicle clogged streets. The city is building a new underground metro section, Line 3, which will help carry commuters to and from the city's commercial centre and help reduce vehicle journey times on the surface.
This project is also making use of the latest piece of tunnelling equipment from Sandvik, the MT520 roadheader, a powerful machine designed and built at
