A NEW RUN AT THE GOTTHARD
We’re back: The Implenia-led joint venture “secondo tubo” has been awarded the contract for the North main section of the Gotthard Tunnel project by the Bundesamt für Strassen (Astra). The contract value for the 7.9-kilometre section of the tunnel up to the section border in the centre of the tunnel is CHF 467 million. At the heart of the work, which is scheduled to take until 2029, is the 7.3-kilometre bore with a diameter of 12.3 metres, made by a tunnel boring machine. The second tube will make the Gotthard road tunnel safer in future.
NEW LABORATORY IN BASEL
Division Buildings has acquired another large-scale order in the field of research and healthcare with approval for construction of the new laboratory at the University of Basel’s Department of Biomedicine. The order volume is more than CHF 250 million. Implenia is building the 37,000 square metre new complex, including rooms for laboratory, office and seminar use, as total contractor. BIM and lean construction are being used in both the planning and execution phases. Commissioning is planned for 2031.
BUILDING IN THE WEST
Implenia has acquired four real estate projects in Western Switzerland, with a combined volume of around CHF 300 million. They are the Kyoto office building at Green Village in Geneva, a new residential and commercial building in Alleestrasse in Biel, two production and research buildings near Lausanne, and a headquarters renovation for an international organisation in Geneva. Focusing on sustainability, these large, complex projects are perfectly aligned with Implenia’s strategy.
LINK TO THE METRO DEPOT
In Stockholm, Implenia is constructing a connecting tunnel to the Högdalen metro depot on behalf of “Region Stockholm, Förvaltning för utbyggd tunnelbana” With a total order volume of SEK 1 billion (CHF 98 million), the project includes the infrastructure to link the expanded depot to the existing Farstagrenen underground line. This will be done by building a new tunnel with a concrete trough in a densely populated urban area at the Farstagrenen junction.
BUILDING ON SUSTAINABILITY
As part of the Rösslimatt quarter development, Implenia is creating an office and commercial building for SBB Immobilien near Lucerne station, with space for around 1,000 staff, plus retail and hospitality units on the ground floor. Implenia is carrying out the basic interior construction as total contractor. The site is being developed to outstanding sustainability and quality standards. Worth over CHF 50 million, the two-year project began in September 2022.
