Project information
U2/2 Vienna Taborstrasse
For the U2/2 Taborstrasse Vienna metro extension, 2 station tubes were constructed using mining-type tunnel formwork consisting of pre-assembled Top 50 elements and a falsework construction made from the Heavy-duty supporting system SL-1. In each of the 110 m long tubes, typical blocks of 10 m in length had to be formed.

Additional info
