Challenges
1
The altitude of the village of Samedan is 1700 metres above sea level
2
Unusual geological conditions are also present: the tunnel and track are located in ground water
3
Temperatures can fall as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius in the winter months
„From our perspective, the extensive know-how of the Getzner technical team made a very valuable contribution to the successful implementation of the project. On the one hand, they performed the calculations for the resilient bedding of the mass-spring system and the transition areas, while on the other, they delivered a solution that met the stringent vibration requirements as set out in the IEFC specification.“Leo Hirschbühl, GPL – overall project manager for Rhätische Bahn AG
Challenges
1
Renewing all the railway superstructure over 60 kilometres
2
Efficiently protecting buildings in close proximity to the track – despite the higher train speeds that have been planned
3
Since the completion of the construction work, the track, which was previously designed to accommodate a top speed of 120 km/h, can now be used by trains travelling at speeds up to 160 km/h
„The cooperation with the Getzner team was exemplary. The quality of the sleeper pads was consistently high and enabled us to affix them to our concrete sleepers without any trouble. Deliveries were also excellently coordinated: they arrived on time and in the agreed volume.“Gundolf Spitzner, Head of European Sales, RAIL.ONE GmbH
