Integration Projects4P in R+R Burger und Partner AG

R+R Burger und Partner AG has taken over the Projects4P brand and integrated it as a new business unit.

Projects4P was founded and built up by our management board member Stefan Isler.

The services of the Projects4P division include project management consulting, project management training and interim project management.

These three elements are based on the innovative 4P Dynamo concept. This is based on a wealth of experience and includes a comprehensive and structured approach to develop project management skills in organizations in the long term.

Projects4P ideally complements the existing offering of R+R Burger und Partner AG.

While R+R Burger und Partner AG has made a name for itself in the management and cost consulting of infrastructure projects, Projects4P focuses on the individual development of maturity in project management of project-oriented organizations.

Research project bicycle traffic exposure

R+R is working together with the ZHAW and Pro Velo on the FEDRO research mandate MFZ_20_04E_03 Measurement of exposure to bicycle traffic until spring 2026. The aim of this research project is to evaluate existing methods for determining the mobility behavior of cyclists and to test a promising approach in a pilot study in practice. It involves determining the exposure, i.e., the distances traveled by cyclists, divided into the use of bicycles and e-bikes. Existing bicycle counts will also be integrated into the pilot study. Based on the findings, a proposal for the future calculation of exposure in bicycle traffic in Switzerland will be developed.

A1 EXPANSION NORTHERN ZURICH BYPASS

The northern Zurich bypass between the Limmattal interchange and the Zurich North junction became operational in 1985. Today, the traffic volume at this motorway section exceeds 120’000 vehicles every working day. Traffic jams are frequent and there has been an increase in the occurrence of accidents.

The Federal Roads Office is improving the traffic situation on the northern Zurich bypass with an extension of the roadway to six lanes and the construction of a third tunnel tube.

Other core aspects of the improvements included in this key federal project are the two redesigned junctions at Weiningen and Zurich-Affoltern, as well as a new 100 m long covering in Weiningen. As an environmental compensation measure, a 580 m long covering with recreational areas will be constructed between Katzenseestrasse and Horensteinstrasse. The two existing tubes of the Gubrist tunnel will also be refurbished. Extensive environmental protection measures are to be implemented for the entire project and in particular for the protected marshlands around the Katzensee. The improvement also requires flanking measures in respect of traffic to provide effective and sustainable support for a transfer of traffic from other main roads to the high capacity road.

With few exceptions, two lanes in both directions will be continuously available for traffic for the entire duration of the construction phase. The excavation material of the third tube of the Gubrist tunnel will be loaded onto railway wagons via the temporary loading station in Zürich-Affoltern, and deposited in the quarry Oberegg, AG. Thanks to this measure, roughly 100‘000 truck trips will be avoided.

R+R has advised and assisted the Federal Roads Office ASTRA since 2008 as staff unit for the overall project owner in project management and since 2011 also as staff unit environmental consulting. As project-owner support, R+R is responsible for contract controlling, cost and budget management and the implementation of environmental protection measures.
