In the course of expanding the western railway, OBB Infrastruktur Bau AG is building a 42,3km long section of rail between Vienna and St. Pölten.
The approximately 13,35km long Wienerwald Tunnel comprises a significant part of this newly built section and connects the western edge of Vienna (Hadersdorf-Weidlingau) with Tullnerfeld.
The opening of the complete Wienerwald Tunnel as part of the newly built section between Vienna and St. Pölten is planned for 2012.
The problem:
Open drainage during tunnelling and construction in the open using submersible pumps.
Our solution:
Use of the following pump types: KTV2-22,
KTV2-37, KTZ22.2, KTZ32.2, KTZ45.5, KTZ47.5, LH25.5W
Advantages of Tsurumi pumps:
- longer operating life
- lower replacement parts costs
