Construction of new 700 m section of A 100 motorway
Dual-track commuter rail bridge and single-track long-distance railway bridge
Construction time 2014–2017
Vienna, 26 May 2014----Ed. Züblin AG, a subsidiary of the publicly listed construction group STRABAG SE, has been awarded the contract to build the urban motorway A 100 in Berlin. The contract has a value of € 73 million. Construction has already begun and is expected to last until August 2017.
“This challenging construction order requires the extensive know-how of our ground engineering team,” says Thomas Birtel, CEO of STRABAG SE. The works on Section 2/3, situated at Sonnenallee Junction, comprise not only the construction of a new dual-track commuter rail bridge and a single-track long-distance railway bridge with spans of 68 m each; the company will also set up the diaphragm walls, establish underwater concrete floors, install uplift and pit lining anchors, and drive the sheet piling and bored piles. The contract also encompasses the delivery and installation of 200,000 m³ of concrete. The work will be carried out with no interruption to rail service, necessitating the construction of several auxiliary bridges.
