Tsurumi Supports the Lyon–Turin Rail Project with a Tailor-Made Dewatering Solution

Published on 17.07.2026

The Lyon–Turin railway line is one of Europe's most ambitious infrastructure projects, creating a new high-capacity rail connection between France and Italy. As the route crosses the Alps, extensive tunnel construction is a key element of the project, placing exceptional demands on equipment operating in challenging underground environments.


To ensure reliable dewatering under constantly changing site conditions, Tsurumi France has delivered a customised pumping solution specifically engineered for the tunnelling works.

The installation includes two Tsurumi KRD611 agitator pumps for demanding slurry applications, complemented by a Tsurumi KRS200 standby pump. The backup unit is sized to match the combined flow capacity of the two KRD611 pumps, ensuring uninterrupted operation whenever required.


To maximise flexibility, the system is equipped with a bespoke control cabinet featuring a variable frequency drive (VFD), allowing pump performance to be precisely adjusted to the different phases of the tunnelling project. In addition, a fibre screen made of ribbed steel mesh has been integrated into the tank to meet the specific requirements at the tunnel face.

From engineering and design through to on-site implementation, every component of the system has been developed to deliver a reliable, scalable, and application-specific solution for one of Europe's largest rail infrastructure projects.
