| Bilfinger Berger receives order for subway line in Düsseldorf German construction giant Bilfinger Berger has won a contract to build major sections of a new subway line in Düsseldorf. With a total length of 3.4 kilometers, the so-called 'Wehrhahnlinie' replaces several above-ground connections and will provide significant relief to inner-city traffic when it goes into operation in 2015. The order has a volume of €300 million. The dual-track tunnel tube will be built by the bored tunnel method using a tunnel boring machine (TBM). The techniques selected for the construction of five underground train stations will ensure that traffic is disrupted as little as possible during the construction phase. Extensive foundation engineering works will serve to protect existing structures in Düsseldorf's inner-city. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
