Implenia wins two major orders abroad
Implenia has acquired two contracts abroad, each in a joint venture with Hochtief. In Munich, the companies are building a stop on the second S-Bahn main line, and in Stockholm they are jointly constructing a tunnel.
In Munich, the consortium of Implenia and Hochtief, under Implenia's technical leadership, will build the central Marienhof stop for Deutsche Bahn's second S-Bahn main line in the Bavarian capital. According to Implenia, the contract is worth just under €400 million (CHF 440 million), with the companies each holding a half share in the consortium.
The future Marienhof station is located directly behind Munich City Hall. According to Implenia, the new station is located at a depth of around 40 meters - partly because of the surrounding buildings and partly because the two subway tunnels of the U 3 and U 6 lines have to be crossed underneath. The 210-meter-long platforms are located on the lowest level, followed by an approximately 14-meter-high distribution level and a barrier level with the entrances and exits to the new urban rail station and a transition to the subway. Construction work is scheduled to start at the beginning of summer 2019.
Construction of Anneberg-Skanstull tunnel in Stockholm
In Sweden, Implenia has won the contract to build the Anneberg-Skanstull Tunnel in Stockholm in a consortium with Hochtief. The client is Svenska Kraftnät (Swedish National Grid). Hochtief Infrastructure and Implenia each have a half share in the joint venture, with Hochtief as technical leader. According to a statement from Implenia, the total contract volume is equivalent to around €90 million.
As part of the so-called City Link project, the Anneberg-Skanstull tunnel will serve to improve the power supply in the greater Stockholm area. Over a length of around 14 km and with a diameter of five meters, the tunnel will be driven around 50 to 100 meters under the Swedish capital using a tunnel boring machine. The project also includes ventilation shafts, elevator systems and the construction of technical buildings for electrotechnical equipment in the Anneberg area and at the shafts. Completion is scheduled for 2024. (ah)
