Infrastructure works tackle challenging terrain on Lake Zurich
Walo Bertschinger AG is involved in an infrastructure project between Tägerst and Buchenegg. By the end of 2027, a road, drainage systems and engineering structures will be newly constructed or reinforced there. Two new Lehnen viaducts, measuring 90 and 130 metres in length, are also central to the project.
Walo Bertschinger AG, a family-run construction firm based in Dietikon, is carrying out the roadworks and civil engineering works as part of an infrastructure project in the Lake Zurich region. According to a press release, over a stretch of 1.1 kilometres between Tägerst and Buchenegg, “roads, drainage systems and numerous engineering structures are being newly constructed, reinforced or repaired.” The project is scheduled for completion by 2027.
A central element of the project is the construction of two new Lehnen viaducts, measuring 90 and 130 metres in length. A total of 21 piers and around 240 micropiles will provide a solid foundation on the landslide-prone slope.
“Limited space, steep terrain and a tight schedule make this project particularly challenging,” explains Walo Bertschinger AG in the press release. “We are therefore all the more pleased that the work is progressing according to plan and that the team is delivering a strong performance in their daily work.”
