Additional info
The contractor Franz Kassecker GmbH awarded Doka with the contract to supply the formwork construction equipment, which is capable of being divided into two independently travelling formwork carriages.

In order to make it possible to drive through the landmarket entrance and into the tunnel the formwork carriage is equipped with special wheels to allow for integrated transverse movement. Also the slab formwork elements have the ability to swivel by hand winches.

To ensure the maintenance of the railway traffic all the concrete and formwork operations were solely performed during scheduled weekend down-times.
