    Implenia builds infrastructure projects for CHF 100 million

    Implenia has received approval to build two complex transport infrastructure projects costing CHF 100 million. According to a media release, a motorway junction is being built in Zurich under the lead management of the construction and real estate company, which will provide particularly good protection against noise. On behalf of the city of Winterthur, Implenia is building a 390-metre-long complex bridge that will play a central role in the city’s development.

    Following approval from the Federal Roads Office(FEDRO), Implenia is responsible for upgrading the N01/36 Schlieren-Europabrücke motorway junction in Zurich-Grünau. The project includes maintenance of the traffic area between the Schlieren and Altstetten junctions. Prior to this, deconstruction, excavation and works pipeline work as well as the installation of a road wastewater treatment plant would have to be carried out. Noise barriers covering an area of 3,800 square metres are to protect residents of the Grünau neighbourhood from disturbance after the end of construction in 2027.

    On behalf of the city of Winterthur, Implenia is reportedly building a 390-metre-long, challenging bridge structure for pedestrians, bicycles and buses over the Grüze crossing. It connects Sulzerallee with St.Gallerstrasse and, according to the city, is intended to become “the public transport hub of the newly emerging Neuhegi-Grüze district”. The construction contract includes special civil engineering for foundations and protective structures, various civil engineering services in the track area and complex falsework structures. The bridge is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2026.

  • Implenia and Frutiger are building the second tube of the Gotthard tunnel

    The core of the work is the 7.3 km long drive with a diameter of 12.3 m through a tunnel boring machine (TBM) with segmental lining. This connects to a 160 m long, conventionally excavated take-off run. Further work of the order is the 430 m long, conventional drive through the fault zone north, from the 4 km long north access tunnel currently under construction

    is broken out. The TBM will later be pulled through this section of the fault zone and its cutter head will be completely overhauled. The TBM will then tackle further tunneling to the lot boundary. The ARGE will also create a highly complex excavation of two underground ventilation centers as well as an underground concrete plant and production halls for tubbings and service ducts in former military caverns.

    FEDRO justifies the award as follows: «The ARGE 'secondo tubo' has submitted a very good offer in terms of quality and price, and therefore the most advantageous offer overall. The tender from the successful tenderer is consistently convincing with award criteria that are judged to be good to very good. The bidder has submitted the most advantageous offer and can also qualitatively stand out from the other bidders on the basis of the submitted offer documents. The key people assigned to work on the construction site are rated as very good.»

    André Wyss, CEO of Implenia, on the contract he had won: “The second tube of the Gotthard road tunnel is making a significant contribution to improving the north-south road connection in Switzerland. We are very pleased that this large and complex infrastructure project, which fits in well with Implenia's strategy

    fits, are allowed to plan and build. We can optimally use our many years of experience and proven expertise in tunnel construction and in other disciplines of civil engineering.»

    In addition to the tunnel construction, Implenia will also be involved in special civil engineering and civil engineering units in Central Switzerland.

  • Basel gets a new research center

    Basel gets a new research center

    The R2-D2 project by Guerra Clauss Garin Architekten from Basel has won the tender for a new office building on the corner of Schanzenstrasse and Spitalstrasse in Basel. The Botnar Research Center for Child Health ( BRCCH ) of the University of Basel and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich ( ETH ) will move in there, according to a press release .

    The BRCCH will be located in the immediate vicinity of the Basel University Hospital, the Basel Children's University Hospital and the Schällemätteli Life Sciences Campus. It is intended to expand the pediatric and adolescent medicine cluster and "develop into the leading application-oriented research institute for child and adolescent health" over the next few years. The canton of Basel-Stadt is building the building on its own.

    The project competition was won unanimously by Guerra Clauss Garin Architects. They are now revising their designs for the low-emission and sustainable research building based on the jury's recommendations. The preliminary project will then be created with detailed information on costs, deadlines and standards, according to the press release.

    Interested parties can view the competition entries from January 14th to 25th, 2022 at Uferstrasse 90.
