    Implenia wins complex real estate projects in western Switzerland

    Alternatives beyond the results of last year's strategy review should be considered, particularly given the changed economic and market environment. The goal of the review is to create a more focused, agile group with a significantly lower absolute cost base that can deliver sustainable returns to all stakeholders and provide superior service to clients.

    Renovation of the headquarters of an international organization in Geneva
    Implenia has had the privilege of completely renovating the historic headquarters in Geneva for an important international organisation. The project will last about two and a half years. The work includes, among other things, the adaptation of the facades and the security installations to the current standards, a complete redesign of the general rooms and the 1,200 workplaces and the modernization of the technical equipment and installations.

    Implenia won the project as general contractor in a competition based on a previous mandate as overall planner and a new building that had already been built for this international organization. The aim of the project is to preserve the historical heritage while maintaining high architectural quality. The refurbished building is designed to meet strict sustainability requirements and was planned using BIM. The execution is done with Lean Construction.

    As total contractor, Implenia is constructing two new four-storey buildings for production and research in bio-pharmaceuticals, life sciences and other sectors in Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne for the client, which belongs to the EPIC Suisse AG group.

The work, which will start in the summer of 2022, will take around two and a half years. You can find more information about the project at discover.pulse.swiss.

    Implenia is renovating the Gubrist tunnel

    The Federal Roads Office has awarded the Gubri consortium (ARGE Gubri) the third lot for the renovation of the two existing tubes of the Gubrist tunnel, Implenia reports in a statement . The construction and real estate company from Opfikon has a 40 percent stake in the consortium and is in charge. The remaining 60 percent are held equally by the Dietiker construction company Walo Bertschinger and Anliker based in Emmen LU. The total order volume is estimated at CHF 184 million in the announcement. Implenia will account for CHF 74 million of this.

    As part of the contract, the partner companies will set up 22 new SOS niches in the second tube and refurbish the existing 24 SOS niches in the first tube. In addition, the roadway in both tubes will be lowered by 30 centimeters and a new, higher intermediate ceiling will be installed, explains Implenia. The aim is to adapt the driving space to today's requirements.

    The refurbishment of the two tubes is planned to follow the establishment of a third tube of the Zurich northern bypass, which is currently under construction. The start of the preparatory work for the renovation of the two existing tubes is dated autumn. The takeover of the project is in line with Implenia's strategy of "focusing on large, complex infrastructure projects with the Civil Engineering Division," the statement said.
