N15/02 Motorway Section Wangen – Uster East
We are pleased to have been chosen to support the FEDRO Winterthur branch in the N15/02 UPlaNS Wangen – Uster East motorway maintenance project. The project covers several departments, and the separation of maintenance, renovation and newbuilding measures presents particular challenges.
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.
N06.24 NEB EM Brüggmoos – Lyss-Süd motorway maintenance project
We are very pleased that we have been asked to support FEDRO’s Thun branch in the N06.24 NEB EM Brüggmoos – Lyss-Süd motorway maintenance project during in the next years in our function as management support and senior construction management. The repair work on this motorway section includes a replacement of the pavement and extensive measures on the engineering structures. Actual construction work is planned for 2029.
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.

COST AND QUALITY BENCHMARKING
| On a line-by-line basis, the infrastructure costs of the BLS railway network were compared to a benchmark with the aim of determining the „best practices“ regarding maintenance and investment costs, and in respect of operating quality. With the help of visualised results, comprehensive interpretations were drawn up with the staff responsible for the infrastructure, scope for action was presented and strategic directions for future improvements were discussed. Findings regarding best practices or poor practices were examined in depth on a case-by-case basis with the help of specific analyses, and potentials for savings and/or upgrading were identified for the individual lines. Line-by-line analyses were undertaken regarding the track, safety equipment and parts of the operation. Cost and quality differences between individual sections were derived with the help of various statistical and econometric methods, and these were examined from various perspectives. The influence of curve radii, line lengths, the quality of track positioning and of the numbers and weights of trains, etc., on investment and maintenance costs was analysed in detail, and relationships between costs, quality, infrastructural factors and traffic load were evaluated. On one hand, the results allow the identification of cost saving potentials; and on the other, the results also provide an important basis in order to develop objectives for future services. However, with the help of data on work undertaken, it was possible to make comparisons not only between costs, but also between the services on which the costs were based. This approach made it possible to quantify efficiency improvements based not only on cost reductions, but also on improved service provision. |
