Tunnel bypass Flüelen, Switzerland

Tunnel bypass Flüelen, Switzerland - The special support und moving construction comprised of elements from the PERI tunnel waler system which adapted exactly to each cross-section. The complete formwork unit could be moved on rails from section to section using pulling equipment supplied by the contractors. Due to economic reasons, setting and stripping were done mechanically.

From PERI, we got the most efficient solution. Despite the large dimensions, we were able to concrete in one pour!

PERI solution

  • since there were only four cycles, decision to go without integrated hydraulics
