    STRABAG builds utility lines in Arbon

    The Schlieren-based construction company STRABAG AG is building new underground pipes in Arbon, according to a press release. According to the company’s press release, the service lines in Amriswilerstrasse and Egnacherstrasse in Arbon were in a state of serious disrepair. These service lines for water, electricity, gas and the Swisscom data cables are being completely renewed. A new rainwater drain will also be created as part of the work.

    According to STRABAG, the project is characterised by the cooperation between the municipality and the utility company. The construction costs will be borne jointly.

    According to STRABAG, the last renovation of the utility lines was decades ago. Surprises were therefore inevitable during the work. For example, the employees had to uncover power lines by hand. During the process, a mistake would have led to the power being switched off in the entire neighbourhood.

    At the same time, the traffic flow and the interests of neighbours had to be kept in mind. One junction leading to an agricultural machinery park was particularly tricky because there was no way to divert traffic there. However, Ivo Schlappritzi’s team found a solution and a complete closure was avoided without delaying the construction work.

    “Thanks to careful planning and close collaboration with Innoplan Bauingenieure AG, we were able to successfully overcome the challenges on this construction site. Together as a team, we ensured that the new utility lines could be handed over to the municipality of Arbon on schedule in autumn 2025,” said Schlappritzi, STRABAG construction manager for civil engineering and road construction in the Mittelland region.

    Innoplan Bauingenieure AG is an engineering office for structural and civil engineering based in Arbon.

  • R&M launches new splice closure

    R&M launches new splice closure

    R&M has expanded its range with a high-density type of SYNO splice sleeve. The new SYNO S-500 splice closure has twice the splicing capacity of the standard types, writes the globally active specialist for data and communication networks from the Zurich Oberland in a statement. The splice closure, which is designed for the expansion of hybrid fibre optic infrastructures, can be used to cable single fibres and ribbon fibres simultaneously.

    The SYNO S-500 is equipped with eight entries for standard round cables, ribbon cables and microproducts. “Single fibre splices, ribbon fibre splices and splitters can be placed next to each other on the splice carriers,” R&M explains. Due to the resealable gel seal of the sleeve, the cabling can be retrofitted or changed at any time.

    According to the manufacturer, the SYNO S-500 can be used for overhead and underground cabling, and especially in regions where the infrastructures for fibre optic lines to the house are to be expanded quickly and prepared for future applications. As an additional service, R&M offers “customer-specific pre-assembly”.
