Alpine signs contract to install the railway infrastructure in the St Gotthard base tunnel

The Transtec Gotthard consortium, to which Alpine belongs, will carry out the railway installation work in the St Gotthard base tunnel in Switzerland.


The Transtec Gotthard consortium consists of Alpine Bau GmbH, Atel Installationstechnik AG, Alcatel-Lucent Schweiz AG, Thales Rail Signalling Solutions AG and Balfour Beatty Rail GmbH.

The project involves the installation of the railway infrastructure in the St Gotthard base tunnel, the equipping of the two single track tunnels, each 57 km long, and the building of 11 km of railway line north and south on the surface to connect with the existing railway.

Nearly 230 guests attended the contract signing ceremony in the Fine Arts Museum in Lucerne, Switzerland, which was followed by a steam boat trip on Lake Vierwaldstätter.
