Always on the Move for You Always ÖBB compact on the move Facts & Figures 209 mil. regional transport passengers 35 mil. long-distance passengers 217 mil. bus passengers Passenger fi gures. In 2016, 461 million passengers used ÖBB mobility services – roughly 209 million of them on local and regional trains, 35 million on long-distance services and 217 million by bus. FOREWORD 3 FACTS & FIGURES FOREWORD Always on the move for you. 40,000 ÖBB employees ensure that around 1.3 million passengers and roughly 300,000 tons of freight arrive safely and punctually at their destination every day. That makes ÖBB Austria’s biggest mobility provider, one that makes an important contribution to environmental protection. By moving people and goods by rail, ÖBB saves 3 million tons of CO2 each year. A key prerequisite for ÖBB’s sustainable train services is the construction and maintenance of a modern railroad infrastructure. With an annual investment of 2.5 billion euro, ÖBB not only creates value for future generations but also ranks among the biggest contracting authorities in the country, making it an important economic factor. ÖBB also puts this importance to the test as an attractive employer. Because ÖBB is one of the biggest employers in Austria and the leader when it comes to technical training. No fewer than 1,700 apprentices are trained at ÖBB every year. In this “Facts & Figures” booklet, you’ll find these and many other exciting details about ÖBB as a company. Take a peek behind the scenes and be impressed by the economic power of ÖBB. 4 Facts & Figures AT THE CUSTOMER’S SERVICE RIGHT ACROSS AUSTRIA AND EUROPE.

    World of PORR 168/2016 PORR Updates ÖBB-PORR slab track system for the Koralm railway Success with our own technology The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) continue to rely on the railway construction expertise of PORR Bau GmbH. Under its leadership, 3276m of railway line will be installed using the “ÖBB-PORR elastically supported slab system”. Construction work on the slab tracks of line 1 in the Hengsberg Tunnel and the Weitendorf FW12 underpass, Different types of ÖBB-PORR track support slabs Oberbau 66.03 section has started on 5 February 2016. Line Image: PORR AG 2 was built also under the leadership of PORR Bau GmbH in 2010 as a slab track and has been operational since December 2010. The following concrete and surface works will be carried out for ÖBB: Line 1 slab tracks Track cover with load bearing sound-absorbing slabs Switch in slab tracks Light mass-spring system in the Weitendorf FW12 underpass Load distribution slabs Pre-ballasting on the connecting line The main construction work on the slab tracks will be carried out over a 7 week period from 11 July to 26 August 2016 during which time the tracks will be closed. The work will mainly be carried out on rails in shifts. This construction work is a part of the new Koralm Railway Line project between Graz and Klagenfurt. Construction of the Koralm Railway Line began in 1999. The new 130km-long line will be completed in 2023. The rail journey from Graz to ÖBB-Porr slab tracks with load bearing sound-absorbing slabs Klagenfurt will then only take 45 minutes, with trains reaching Image: PORR AG speeds of up to 230km/h.

  • Koralm Tunnel
    KORALM TUNNEL – DEVELOPMENT OF TUNNEL SYSTEM DESIGN AND SAFETY CONCEPT Christof Neumann, Florian Diernhofer, ILF Consulting Engineers, Austria Gerhard Harer, Josef Koinig, OEBB Infrastruktur Bau AG 1 ABSTRACT The 32.8-km-long Koralm tunnel requires additional measures to guarantee a sufficient safety level. The methodology applied to define safety measures for this very long tunnel is on the one hand based on a set of guidelines and on the other hand based on the specific boundary conditions of this tunnel. These tunnel-specific conditions are considered by establishing customized safety targets. As a result of an investigation into the construction and operating phase, the tunnel system was determined to consist of two single-tube tunnels, an emergency station, no crossover and cross- passages every 500 m. The emergency station in the centre of the tunnel, which incorporates various considerations, was designed to accommodate staggered platforms and a refuge room with a length of 800 m. With a view to the incident management strategy to be adopted, characteristic operating scenarios were analysed to realistically reflect the sequence of events in case of an emergency. 2 THE KORALM TUNNEL PROJECT The Koralm tunnel is one of the key elements of the Koralm high-capacity railway line, which connects the cities of Graz and Klagenfurt in the south of Austria. The Koralm railway line is part of the Baltic-Adriatic Axis, which represents the easternmost crossing of the Alps and links several Eastern European countries Koralm line with Koralm tunnel and Vienna with southern Austria and northern Italy. The Koralm line is a 130- km-long high-capacity railway line engineered for a design speed of 200 km/h.
