NEW ORDER FOR THE B39 SCHEMMELSBERG TUNNEL

After a long wait, the time had come on Octo­ber 21, 2023: we recei­ved the offi­cial let­ter of assign­ment from the cli­ent, the Stutt­gart Regio­nal Coun­cil (Depart­ment 47.1), for the pro­ject “B39 Schem­mels­berg Tun­nel, main con­s­truc­tion mea­sure: con­s­truc­tion of a res­cue tun­nel and tun­nel repair work, tech­ni­cal equip­ment for the main tun­nel tube and res­cue tun­nel”.

Tog­e­ther with our part­ners Leon­hard Weiss and PORR Ver­kehrs­tech­nik, we sub­mit­ted the offer on 11.07.2023. The total order volume amounts to approx. EUR 35 mil­lion (gross), AUGUST REINERS’ share is approx. EUR 17 mil­lion (gross).

The approx. 670 m long Schem­mels­berg tun­nel no lon­ger meets today’s safety requi­re­ments and is to be rebuilt in line with the cur­rent state of the art. The core of the pro­ject com­pri­ses the con­s­truc­tion of a 414 m long res­cue tun­nel with 2 cross-pas­sa­ges to the exis­ting road tun­nel, inclu­ding the con­s­truc­tion of a por­tal struc­ture with an inte­gra­ted extin­gu­is­hing water basin, which will be imple­men­ted by us as the tech­ni­cal lead in the project. 

The first con­s­truc­tion acti­vi­ties star­ted at the begin­ning of Novem­ber. For the time being, our con­sor­tium part­ner Leon­hard Weiss is busy pre­pa­ring the con­s­truc­tion site area. At the start of 2024, our tun­nel con­s­truc­tion team will also get to work and start secu­ring the embank­ment at the pre-cut so that tun­nel dri­ving can begin at the begin­ning of March. 

We would like to take this oppor­tu­nity to wish ever­yone invol­ved an acci­dent-free con­s­truc­tion site and, as they say in tun­nel con­s­truc­tion, a hearty “Good luck!”
