N08 Sachseln Tunnel Maintenance Project – Increasing Tunnel Safety, Owner’s Engineer and Construction Supervision
The 5.2km long single tube Sachseln Tunnel has been in operation since 1997. It no longer meets current tunnel safety requirements. There are insuffiecient emergency ecape routes for users and the ventilation system only meets 30 % of the standard requirements. The tunnel will be retrofitted with a safety tunnel with 20 cross-links to the main tunnel. The ventilation system will be completely rebuilt. Exhaust air flaps will be installed as well as longitudinal ventilation (Saccardo-Stations at the portals). The entire operation and safety system in the existing tunnel will be replaced and the tunnel will be structurally repaired.
