Safe design for automatic and unattended train operation

The development of modern, fully automated, unattended trains promises decisive advantages in future railway operations: energy savings, cost optimisation, improved punctuality, increased capacity and new services. However, the top priority is safety.

Diagnostic system for the S-Bahn Zurich fleet

The diagnostic system of the double-decker trains (DPZ) of the Zurich S-Bahn is to be redeveloped as part of the LION (Lifting, Integration, Optimisation, Redesign) modernisation project. The diagnostic data is to be made available in a web application and second-level user support is to be ensured

Energy study for the Basel public transport company (BVB)

Based on measurements taken from operational trams, BVB has determined that a significant amount of braking energy is dissipated in the braking resistors of the vehicles.

New construction of the Limmattal light rail line

The Limmattal light rail line should provide a sustainable solution to the traffic problems in the Limmattal region and ensure that there is the required capacity in public transport.

Preparation of CSM documents for DB

The electrification of section 48 of the Deutsche Bahn railway marks the important closure of a gap in international rail traffic. The project includes the verification documentation for the risk management procedure in accordance with the CSM ordinance.

Energy supply for the new Lausanne tram line

A new tram line is to be built between Renens (VD) and Lausanne-Flon as part of a regional infrastructure project. A comprehensive concept for the energy supply must be developed, planned and implemented.

Measurements of non-ionising radiation

When constructing railway facilities in Switzerland, proof of compliance with the limits of non-ionising radiation according to the NISV (Ordinance on Protection against Non-Ionising Radiation) must be provided.

New construction and renovation of BLS depots

To ensure that BLS AG can continue to operate the Bern S-Bahn efficiently and effectively in the future, it must guarantee the long term service, maintenance and upkeep of its fleet at three depot locations: Spiez, Bönigen and Oberburg.

Kleinwabern tram line extension

The tram line between Wabern and Kleinwabern in Bern is being rebuilt. The existing system is being renovated and upgraded on Seftigenstrasse from Wabern towards the city centre.

Overhead line renewal at Thun railway station

As part of SBB's expansion and renewals project on the railway infrastructure, the catenary system at Thun station is being renewed and the switching post replaced by decentralised switches.

Upgrade of the transN traction energy network

Transports Publics Neuchâtelois SA (transN) has been operating railway, light rail, funicular, trolleybus and bus lines in the canton of Neuchâtel since 2012. Several projects are planned on various lines as part of a comprehensive, future-proof modernisation.

Lötschberg, Gotthard and Ceneri Base Tunnels

The New Rail Link through the Alps (NRLA) is the construction project of the century. Never before has a railway tunnel of this length been built. All project participants were presented with special challenges in order to ensure maximum operational safety.
