Pöyry awarded engineering, project management and site supervision services
assignment for renovation work in the Gamsen Tunnel, Switzerland
The Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) has awarded Pöyry with the engineering, project
management and site supervision services assignment for the complete renewal of
all operational and safety equipment in the Gamsen Tunnel close to Visp, in the
canton of Valais, Switzerland. Pöyry's scope of services includes the conceptual
design, detailed engineering, management of permitting procedures, tender
support, site supervision and commissioning services for the completion of all
necessary operational and safety equipment and signalling renewal works of the
client. Work will begin in October 2015 and is scheduled for completion in 2018.
The Gamsen Tunnel is 1074 metres long and forms part of the A 9 motorway, which
runs from Ballaigues on the French border through Lausanne, Vevey, Sion and
Brig-Glis to Gondo on the Italian border. As part of the complete renovation
project, the Gamsen Tunnel will be brought up to the same technical standard as
the adjacent Eyholz Tunnel, which is currently under construction. This means
systems such as signals, communication and control technology will be aligned in
both tunnels, ensuring a standardised operations and maintenance concept.
"We are delighted to be involved in the complete renovation of the Gamsen
Tunnel. With our broad expertise and highly qualified experts, we are confident
that we will be able to contribute to the successful, on-schedule conclusion of
this important project", says Nicola Norghauer, Pöyry's Head of Transport in
Switzerland.
