Interior equipment was built in at Faido multifunction station in 2011.
With the New Railway Link through the Alps (NRLA) the first flat rail link crossing the Alps will be created. The
centrepiece of this connection is the 57 kilometres long Gotthard base tunnel (GBT) which is already considered
to be the “construction of the century” even before its official opening in 2016.
The Gotthard axis will link Altdorf
in the North with Lugano in the
South of Switzerland. The flat rail
link will shorten the 330 kilometres
line from Basel to Chiasso by 40 kilometres.
in 1999. On 15 October 2010, eleven
years later, the miners celebrated the
first main breakthrough at the GBT. In
2011 the tunnel bore was completed.
The structural work
Before equipping the tunnel with
railway technology, mechanical and
electromechanical equipment was
built in. Most of these installations
are located in the transverse connections and in both multifunction
stations. The 176 transverse connections are protected spaces to technical railway equipment and also
serve as escape routes into the other
tube.
The GBT has been conceived using two single track tunnel tubes
which are linked to each other every
325 metres; it is divided into five construction sections: Erstfeld, Amsteg,
Sedrun, Faido and Bodio. Multifunction stations with emergency
stations and track changes have been
built at the one-third points. An important planning objective was the
optimisation of total construction
time, as end costs are rising the
longer such a project lasts. Thanks to
the division into five sections, construction time could be minimised.
The first blasting took place at Amsteg

th
stalled. Railway equipment installation in the GBT has been proceeding
since 2009. It includes the tracks, the
catenary, the power supply as well
as telecommunications and safety
equipment. The installation of railway equipment is a complex and
demanding task. Good coordination
between the structural work and railway equipment as well as a flexible
implementation plan are decisive.
The access for installation is limited:
the two tunnel portals are the only
access points. Long transport distances and limited available space require intelligent logistic solutions. As
rubber-tired vehicles are not able to
turn round in the tunnel, practically
all of the railway equipment is transported on rails.
Commissioning
Within the framework of commissioning first trial rides have taken
place in the GBT since mid-December 2013. Tests are underway until
June 2014 on an about 13 kilometres
long test track in the Western tube
between the south portal at Bodio
and the multifunction station at
Faido.
The trial operation aims at confirming that the complete tunnel
system meets the requirements. Tests
include the complex interactions of
the different procedures, systems
and equipments such as the track,
catenary, power supply and tunnel
control and command technology,
train protection as well as safety,
security and internal communication. Trains run at 220 kilometres per
hour on the test track in 2014. The
complete tunnel will be free for test
rides by October 2015 when trains
will be able to run at up to 280 kilometres per hour. The project is on
schedule. Operations are due to start
by the end of 2016.
Switzerland is well known not only
for its charming landscapes but also
for its excellent infrastructure and
its sophisticated transport system.
The way how many of the 2,500
tunnels in Switzerland are built,
gives proof of the innovation ability
and the pioneering spirit of our
country and thus underlines that
Switzerland is one of the countries
with the most highly developed
tunnelling technology. An example
for the Swiss tunnelling know-how
is the 57 kilometres long Gotthard
base tunnel which will be the
world’s longest tunnel in future.
There is no way around such tunnel
constructions for our country as our
topography is highly mountainous
and many lorries and trains pass
across the Swiss territory.
Furthermore, the need for transport
infrastructures rises steadily in
the densely populated Swiss cities
where only limited space is
available. That is why such
engineering structures must be
built underground – and this under
most difficult geological and
environmental conditions prevailing
both underground and on the
surface. Some examples of such
projects are the Zurich Cross Rail
and the CEVA project in Geneva
which will link Cornavin, Eaux Vives
and Annemasse by rail.
The opening of the Cross Rail will
coincide with the Swiss Tunnel
Congress from 11 to 13 June 2014.
Its centrepiece, the five kilometre
long Weinbergtunnel is very
appropriate to highlight some of
the challenges the Swiss Federal
Railways SBB had to face in
connection with this major project.
Two years later, the Gotthard tunnel,
the world’s longest railway tunnel
will take up operations. This will
draw worldwide attention to
Switzerland. A unique opportunity
to demonstrate the Swiss values of
“innovation” and “reliability”, but
also the “tunnelling know-how”.

as well about every second exhibitor
will arrive from a foreign country.
When looking at the exhibition surface, countries like Taiwan, Brazil
and India are the first to attract
attention. Compared to the previous
InnoTrans, the pooled exhibitors
from Taiwan have tripled their
exhibition space. With an increase
of about 120, respectively 70 per
cent, exhibitors from Brazil and
India will showcase themselves in a
substantially more comprehensive
way. A total of 39 joint stands from
21 nations and regions will bundle
the railway technology competence
of the international supply industry
in Berlin. China will also be represented by a joint stand organised
by the China Academy of Railway
Sciences (CARS). Wei Liu, Manager
of CARS, reports: “More than 20 companies will present their products in
the China Railway pavilion. Leading
Chinese suppliers come to Berlin
and are highly interested in more
communication and win-win business relationships with the global
railway industry in order to boost
growth in the railway sector.”
With regard to joint stands: Japan
has again reserved a complete exhibition hall and for the first time a single German region, Saxony, has also
booked an entire hall. Besides the
manufacturers of rolling stock and
railway and tunnelling construction
technology, numerous international
transport enterprises and 27 industry
and professional associations from 18
countries will again be represented.
Initial, further and continued training is also a subject. Opportunities
for qualified exchanges on current
subjects of the sector are manifold
with many suitable possibilities being
offered in the various forums with
high level participants and at the professional events within the InnoTrans
Convention.
The widespread and exclusive

definition of mobility. It is not least in
the hand of designers to contribute to
a positive, intensive and profitable evolution of public transport. Design is the
interface between enterprises, products
and users. Concepts are requested to
make mobility offers accessible and
and potentials of “Public transport,
mobile interiors and design”. This
will be followed by six varied short
presentations in Pecha Kucha format,

according to the Olympic Games timetable, it carried more than 608,000
passengers to and from Sochi, including more than 38,000 passengers
on the brand-new double-decker train
from Moscow to Adler. The Federal Passenger Company transported the 1,000
singers of the United Russian Children’s
Choir in two additional special doubledecker train services to perform at the
closing ceremony of the XXII Olympic
Winter Games in Sochi.
During the Olympic timetable, the
trains made 405 trips. A further 106
trains departed from Moscow, St.
Petersburg, Saratov, Ufa, Samara and
Chelyabinsk. The Federal Passenger
Company trains also provided a local

basis of existing professional qualifications and manufacturing penetration, the employees of the KVB
workshop will carry out most of the
works themselves. After the experiences during the construction of the
first prototype there were only minor
changes related to the working groups
in the main workshop. The electrical
work was carried out by the industrial
partner Vossloh Kiepe.
Cost saving concept
with top results
A significant basic condition for
the reconstruction of series 2100 is the
good quality of the materials of the old
vehicles. The steel that was used for the
car bodies is still convincing today with
its quality and can be used again. This
will allow KVB to own modern vehicles
at economic prices. The reconstruction
of a vehicle costs slightly under 1.6
million euros compared to an investment in new vehicles in the estimated
amount of 3.2 million euros, which is
double the amount. This reduced financial effort will allow the operator of the
light-rail system additional investments
in the Cologne public transport system.
Warning signals no louder than needed
EAO’s self-adjusting Multi-Tone Sound Module (MTSM) automatically adapts
to the surrounding sound level
Practical experience has shown
that standard acoustic signalling
devices are often set very high to
drown out surrounding noises,
but result too loud in quieter
areas where they can be annoying
or even damaging to persons
standing nearby.
For this reason the Swiss EAO
AG as a global provider of Human
Machine Interface (HMI) solutions
has developed an intelligent and
adjustable sound module which
detects background noise and, when
needed, adapts its sound level to a
pre-defined level higher than the
ambient noise. This property not
only protects persons from excessive noise levels but also considerably simplifies the set-up process at
the installation site.
The flexible configuration of
MTSM series 56 allows generation of customised warning sounds
for different situations such as e.g.

the sound modules are pre-configured
at the factory to the warning sounds

Innovation in lightweight
construction: less is clearly more
The product designer Nicola Stattmann from Frankfurt on the Main
suggests to translate revolutionary ideas from other sectors and to
apply reduced designs to the interiors of railways.

The development of light construction solutions and designs has meanwhile become an important issue in
all product-related industries. The
reasons are quite clear: less weight,
volume, complexity, components,
pollutants and logistics will allow
a reduction of raw materials, tools,
energy and costs. Furthermore, our
society has meanwhile become
highly sensitive to environmental
issues and responsibility and sustainability is getting increasingly important. Concepts, solutions, products
and systems must be worked out in
a responsible manner and need to be
sustainable. What does this mean for
the interiors of trains?
The individual components of
railway coach interiors are designed
and produced like all other vehicles
and products. They are subjected
to the highest requirements of stability, longevity, abrasion resistance
and “timeless” design. Nevertheless,
innovation seems to lag behind
other industries: requirements and
available solutions on the market or
in all types of trains appear to have
developed less dynamically.
Nothing ventured,
nothing gained
Thanks to new materials and
technologies, fascinating designs in
terms of function and use that are at
the same time environment-friendly
are nowadays carried out in the office
furniture and automobile industries
and the sports equipment sector. But

Pioneering floor covering

More than 90 per cent of all German
main line and commuter trains as well
as metros are equipped with noraplan
stone rubber flooring from nora
systems, one of the world market
leaders in the development of
floorings, with headquarters near
Mannheim. The rubber flooring is
preferred not only in rail vehicles and
buses from New York via China to São
Paolo, it is also used in schools and
universities, hospitals, homes for the
elderly and doctor’s surgeries as well
as in industry. In 1989, Dieter Rischer,
nora’s product developer, was given
the task to develop a cost-efficient
and at the same time high quality
flooring. “We had the idea to
shredder punching remnants from the
production of our proven pastille-type
flooring and to incorporate them into
the mixture of the new rubber
flooring. A new classic was born from
another classic”, explains the “father”
of noraplan stone. The granular
pattern allows concealing dust and
dirt much better than plain floors –
therefore rooms look clean for a
longer time. In the meantime the

Tunnel
Construction
www.innotrans.com
Works in depth
Whether in North America or in Europe – the construction of tunnels creates
lasting geographic connections that are of major importance with regard to both
politics and society.
STUVA considers that the construction of railway tunnels provides important advantages for society.
Infrastructures for the future
Guest article
Dr.-Ing.
Roland Leucker
Dr.-Ing. Roland Leucker, Executive Director of Research Association for Underground
Transportation Facilities Ltd. (STUVA), explains how important civil engineering
technology transportation projects are for the economy and the population.
Executive Director of STUVA
Progress needs mobility. And mobility needs properly working infrastructures. The European Union has
recognised the vital importance of
mobility for a flourishing economy
as a basic need of people. Already
20 years ago it declared mobility as
an important societal target. With
the new edition of the European
transport policy issued at the end
of 2013, transportation funding has
been tripled to 26.3 billion euros
for the years 2014 to 2020.
Citizens should
welcome the construction
of underground
connections.
The economy and employment will
be directly boosted by investments
in infrastructure projects and the
construction of structures, but the
foundation stone for mobility of
the population will also be laid, and
Photos: STUVA
this will in itself be the basis for
further economic development.
Together with the provision of infrastructures this is a necessary
condition for the ongoing wellbeing of a country and indispensable to ensure the participation of
regions in the global market of the
future.
Tunnels are central elements of
transport connections. They often
allow for drastic travel time reductions as they open optimised paths
avoiding detours around obstacles
and benefiting from flat gradient
profiles. This is why the citizens of a
country or region should welcome
the construction of underground
connections between cities. As for
instance in Stuttgart. But what had
we to observe? Although the project
not only underlines Stuttgart’s
nationwide but also its European
importance, no project has been
discussed more controversially than
“Stuttgart 21”. But the discussions
around “Stuttgart 21” are only one
example of the fact that more and
more major projects in Germany
are ill-fated. There are multiple and
partly very individual reasons: long
planning horizons, political moves,
citizen protests, cost intensive
modifications during the construction phase. In the middle of 2013
the German Transport Ministry
therefore started a “reform commission for the construction of
major projects” with the task of
working out countermeasures to
the mentioned problems. These will
probably be available to participants of major projects in 2015 in
the form of a “major projects handbook”. The declared objective of the
initiative is to promote true cost
pricing, cost transparency and the
observation of deadlines as well as
trust of the population in public authorities in their function as principals for major projects. Beyond
that it is also an obligation of each
citizen to take up his responsibility for the global society and not
to hinder progress by partial particular interests. It may be reminded
that we are benefitting today from
infrastructures which were erected
decades ago under similar or even
bigger hindrances.

“Alice”, after Alice Wilson, Canada’s
first female geologist. It is 85 metres
long and ten metres in diameter. The
first piece of the machine, called the
cutter head, alone weighs 130 tonnes.
“Alice” will drill a single tunnel in one
direction, instead of two, allowing for
a shorter construction schedule. Bored
tunnel construction means there is no

On the rise in spite of difficult market conditions
For both tunnel driving and renovation of metro, commuter and main line railway
tunnels, CFT GmbH of Gladbeck, Germany, develops system solutions for dedusting
and ventilation.
Wherever tunnel tubes such as
metro, railway, road and pedestrian tunnels are mechanically reexcavated, dusts that are hazardous
to construction workers’ health are
produced. This also applies to temporary tunnel construction sites when
rails, turnouts and ballast beds are
changed and contaminated dusts,
diesel exhaust fumes, welding and
other exhaust gases are emitted. It is
therefore necessary to provide appropriate installations for the dedusting
and ventilation of construction sites
to best protect staff working on-site.
CFT (Compact Filter Technic), with
headquarters in the Ruhr district,
provides irreproachably clean working conditions in terms of air quality
for employees and working devices
with respect to the legally binding
maximum allowed working place
in Canada. We promised to open the
line by summer 2016, create 8,000 jobs,
and give families and communities
the transportation choices they need –
and we’re delivering.” Stone explained:
“The Evergreen Line will help meet
the demands of a growing population
bringing rapid transit for the first time
to the communities of Port Moody and
Coquitlam. Once the Evergreen Line
is complete, B.C. will have the longest
rapid transit network in Canada at
79 kilometres in length.”

According to its own information, Munich-based light and compact construction
equipment manufacturer Wacker Neuson managed to further increase its group’s
revenue and profitability in 2013. Having reached its targets for 2013, Wacker
Neuson also remains optimistic for 2014. On the basis of provisional figures
the group’s turnover rose in the past financial year 2013 by six per cent to
1.160 billion euros, up from 1.092 billion euros in 2012. Wacker Neuson was able
to further strengthen its market position both nationally and internationally and
also grew even in partly declining markets. The group increased its turnover
compared to the previous year in all three business areas: construction machines,
compact machines and services. While the regions Europe and America provided
higher turnover, the Asia-Pacific region was slightly below the previous year due
to the weak markets in Australia and New Zealand as well as due to exchange
rate effects. According to information of the enterprise, the financial year 2014
has started to develop positively. The board anticipates further growth for the
whole year.

Fault detection on hot surfaces
Photo: NextSense
New 3D inspection method optimises rail production
Occupational safety when handling steel products that are over a thousand degrees hot: thanks to the automated processes cameras instead of employees have to withstand the heat.
An innovative method for quality
inspection of hot surfaces has been
deployed for the first time. The
Austrian provider of profile measurement devices NextSense has
developed “Diris 3D Hot” to make
the production of railway rails
for high-speed applications more
efficient.
The method is based on the laser
light sheet technology which allows
checking surfaces which are still hot.
Faults in the surface structure will
be detected at an early stage in the
production process.
Precise measurements
at microscopic level
This technology, which works
in real time, offers several advantages from the producer’s point of
view: cost reduction, rationalisation, quality improvement as
well as higher occupational safety
and clear documentation. The
laser light sheet technology procedure is based on the optical 3D
measurement technology which
allows calculating a precise height
profile. This is achieved by projecting a laser line to a moving object. Distortions of the laser line
caused by changes in the surface
structure are recorded by several
cameras and recalculated to 3D
coordinates with the help of photometric calculations. Objects that
are fully guided along the laser line
produce a complete height profile.
NextSense’s Marketing Manager
Christoph Böhm explains: “ ‘Diris
3D Hot’ works automatically and
without any contact. The customer
receives real-time 3D information
including the spatial depths of production faults as well as a complete
documentation.” The procedure can
thus also be used for the hot surfaces prevailing in steel production
immediately after rolling. Faults as
well as other surface structures can
be classified: chunkings, rolled-on
faults, scorings or scales can be recognised as easily as markings and
rolling marks. According to NextSense it is even possible to detect
indentations which are only a few
tenths of millimetres deep.

Light-rail link to Bergen airport
The Austrian Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group (RSRG) could sign a follow-up contract for
the erection of the third expansion stage of the Bergen light-rail system in Norway.
The lead contractor for the project will be Rhomberg Rail which has taken over the
project planning. The construction work will be carried out in close cooperation with
the rail infrastructure enterprise Sersa Germany. Dirk Diederich, Managing Director
of Rhomberg Rail, and Rainer Kersten, Managing Director of Sersa Germany, agree:
“In this project, Rhomberg and Sersa can join forces and make best use of the
synergy effect following the merger.” The Bergen project includes the construction
of about seven kilometres of double-track light rail line to Bergen airport and six
kilometres of track in the depot which will be used for rail vehicle maintenance in
future. About 90 per cent of the track will be ballasted with the remaining ten per
cent built as slab track. Work is scheduled for completion in summer 2016.

One of the most successful European photographers of nature, Micha Pawlitzki, has dedicated himself to the hidden
architectural beauty of Germany‘s underground railway stations. The result is his new photography book “Unter Grund”.
Let your thoughts circle for a moment around the keywords “underground railway” and “underground
railway stations”. What will be the
images or memories that come to
your mind? Maybe those of graffitis
on lime green tiled walls, chewing
gums stuck on trampled on concrete
floors? Or torn advertising posters?
The first associations of a normal underground railway rider will probably
not be determined by the perception
of the fascinating aesthetics of many
underground railway stations but by
the collective, communication-less
waiting with dozens of other passengers in trivial transit areas and by
the dreary rumbling along of aged
trains. But contrary to other passengers I was so lucky to ride all German
underground railway stations for al-
most two years to survey the interesting ones and then to photograph the
most beautiful ones late at night.
Many stations are
developing an optical
attraction that is difficult
to resist.
It is only during night-time without the usual masses of people, the
turmoil and running noise when
these apparently dismal stations experience a wonderful metamorphosis into almost magical architectonic
landscapes. In this nightly tranquility

Sweden’s rail infrastructure is set to
receive a major boost in reliability after
Trafikverket, the country’s transport
administration, agreed a new
framework contract with Nexans, an
expert in the cable industry from Paris.
Under the agreement, which covers a
two-year period from 2014 to 2016,
Nexans will be the main supplier of rail
infrastructure cables to Trafikverket.
The project is worth approximately 16
million euros and could be extended
for a further two years after 2016.
As part of the agreement, Nexans will
provide a range of cables from single
cores to multi-conductor cables, as
well as medium voltage cables.
Production will mainly take place at
the Nexans plant in Grimsås, Sweden,
as well as at the company’s plant in

developing skills and delivering
quality services to citizens.”
Product family to set a high
technological standard
Alstom’s X’trapolis product
range has been specifically enhanced for Prasa by the new model
X’trapolis Mega to match the 1,067
millimetre gauge prevailing in
South Africa. The train will run
at speeds of up to 120 kilometres
per hour with the ability to be upgraded to 160 kilometres per hour.
Each single-deck train is composed
of six cars and can carry more than
1,300 passengers. Thanks to the
modularity of X’trapolis, Prasa will
be able to adjust the train configuration to the number of passengers.
All trains will be equipped with air
conditioning, ergonomic seats, realtime on-board information and
Wi-Fi internet access; a combination of direct and indirect lighting
will increase the feeling of space.
Additionally, the train includes an
improved door system to provide
better accessibility for passengers
with reduced mobility as well as
spacious connecting gangways for
user-friendly passenger circulation.
With a 95 per cent recyclability rate,
X’trapolis sets a high standard in
environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the weight of the train is
reduced thanks to its car body shell
made of stainless steel and its electric braking system which allows
for a significant reduction in energy
consumption.

“RailConnect 360” solution by GE Transportation: Unlocking rail ecosystem
potential through the industrial internet
GE Transportation launches its new software “RailConnect 360” for rail operators to maximise efficiency and minimise costs.
From its earliest beginnings, rail
transportation has been driven by innovation. Always evolving, the industry
is increasingly fitted with and connected to innovative 21st century technology that keeps global economy moving.
As experts get together for InnoTrans
2014, the industry will be exploring the
newest innovations. At the US-railroad
technology supplier GE Transportation,
the breakthrough is the “RailConnect
360” solution suite. This software provides railroads with data-driven insights to improve the reliability and
availability of their assets, to optimise
their networks, operations and reduce
life cycle costs. It is a configurable and
connected enterprise solution that
impacts the entire rail supply chain
including rail shippers.
Automated real-time
analytics
Current system inefficiencies result
in higher operating costs for global
railroads. Improving operating ratio
by just one per cent would result in 1.8
billion US-dollars in savings. Big data
and advanced analytics help railroads
and shippers boost output, reduce fuel
costs and minimise downtime. “RailConnect 360” can collect and analyse
locomotive performance through automated diagnostics and prevent failures
before they occur. Real-time transportation planning algorithms can help
optimise train routing decisions resulting in increase in network velocity
and throughput. Smart cruise-control
systems can regulate the train speed
to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce
emissions. These are just a few ways that
the software can improve business outcomes. Innovations like this are taking
shape all across the rail ecosystem to
drive greater efficiency and savings for
customers, while transporting the
industry into a connected industrial
internet age.

Major order from Turkey
Largest single order in the company’s history: Schuler AG to supply railway wheel production plant
Turkey will soon be a further country with a new wheel rolling machine from Schuler forming
numerous railway wheels.
For the expansion of its railway
branch, the Turkish enterprise
Karabük Iron & Steel Industry and
Trade Inc. (Kardemir) has ordered
a production line for manufacturing railway wheels worth more than
90 million euros from the German
metal forming group, Schuler AG.
For the manufacturer of presses this
is the largest single order in its 174year history. Stefan Klebert, Chairman of Schuler, is very pleased:
“The order confirms our successful
strategic diversification on promis-
ing market segments like railways
and underpins our high technological competence.”
We want to make
Karabük the centre
of the Turkish
railway industry.
Fadil Demirel,
Kardemir‘s Chairman
With a workforce of 4,000, an
annual turnover of 660 million
euros and a capacity of three mil-
lion tons per year, Kardemir is the
oldest steel producer in Turkey. The
enterprise is headquartered in the
city of Karabük, about two hundred
kilometres north of Ankara, where
the most modern integrated Turkish
steel manufacturing plant is located.
It is fully equipped to convert raw
materials into steel products. When
signing the contract, Fadil Demirel,
Kardemir’s Chairman, declared: “We
want to make Karabük the centre
of the Turkish railway industry.
Our high quality steel allows us
to manufacture high value forged
wheels which meet the requirements
of high-speed railway networks.”
Kardemir already manufactures rails
and turnouts for the high-speed network which is currently undergoing
massive expansion by the Turkish
state. According to Government
information, the whole railway network shall, at the same time, be
doubled to 25,000 kilometres by 2023.
Schuler considers Turkey with
its booming economy, besides
China, as a promising market of the
future. Martin Habert, Manager of
the subsidiary Schuler SMG GmbH &
Co. KG, which carries out this order,
adds: “The Turkish economy is on the
fast lane. We want to fly our flag more
prominently here, as our innovative
products match the need.”
Heat treatment by
Andritz Maerz
Within shortest time the group
received the second order for its
newly developed wheel rolling machine which forms railway wheels
from pre-forged blanks. As a system supplier, Schuler furthermore
provides a heat treatment plant
and machines for mechanical processing of railway wheels for the
new manufacturing centre. The
supply also includes testing and
inspection technology for the
finished machined wheels. The production line has an annual output
capacity of about 200,000 wheels
at an average blank weight of about
500 kilograms. At the same time,
this order is the first joint project
of Schuler with an enterprise of
the Austrian Andritz group, since
Andritz owns a majority stake in
Schuler. The steel industry supplier
Andritz Maerz has activities around
the world. As a partner it provides
the heat technology for the treatment of the railway wheels.
