Transalpine rail transport will become more cost-effective, flexible and rapid. 2020 Opening of the Ceneri Base Tunnel 2020 Four-metre corridor on the Gotthard axis The expansion of the Gotthard axis to create a larger tunnel profile is a key part of the Swiss policy of transferring freight from road to rail. It will enable semi- trailers with a four-metre corner height to also be loaded onto railway wagons for transport on the Gotthard axis on a continuous basis. This further fosters the transfer of transalpine freight transport from road to rail.

  • Risk Management During Construction of the Gotthard Base Tunnel
    Risk Management During Construction of the Gotthard Base Tunnel Heinz Ehrbar AlpTransit Gotthard Ltd., Lucerne, Switzerland Jakob Kellenberger Ernst Basler + Partners Ltd., Zurich, Switzerland ABSTRACT: A new railway tunnel through the Swiss Alps is currently being constructed which will reach 57 km length and represents the most significant component of the new Alp-crossing railway connection (NEAT). An integral management system was implemented to cover the issues quality management, envi- ronmental management and work safety. Risk management is comprehensively being addressed on a strategic and an operative level involving all project partners. It covers the assessment of threats and opportunities in- cluding their causes, which have a potential long-term influence on planning and execution of the new con- nections as a total. As crucial project requirements in the context of operational risk management were identi- fied: functionality, costs, construction scheduling, environmental impact, work safety, and project organization. Finally, the terminology "risk" was extended to include threats and opportunities contained in the project. 1 GOTTHARD BASE TUNNEL component of the new Alp-crossing railway connec- tion (NEAT) through the Swiss Alps.
