Welcome Maria Jose Hernandez Guevara

We are delighted to welcome Maria as a new member of the R+R staff and wish her every success in her new role.

Maria holds an MSc in Civil Engineering (Geotechnical Engineering/Construction and Maintenance Management) from ETH Zurich, as well as a BSc in Civil Engineering (Honours, cum laude) from the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.

Thanks to her many years’ experience in client representation, tunneling and underground construction, procurement, and operational and strategic project management, she is an excellent addition to our R+R-Team’s consultancy and technical expertise.

N11/60, N01/42 UPlaNS – ZH-Ost–Kloten Süd Interchange (ZOK), Completion of the Maintenance Concept (EK) Phase

Renato Käppeli / Stefan Isler

Over the past two years, we have supported the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) as project-owner support unit in the development of the maintenance concept (EK) for the ZOK project.

In addition to renewal work, smaller, targeted improvements to enhance traffic safety and traffic flow were also examined.

A particular challenge in this demanding project was the dense population and high traffic volume in the vicinity of Zurich Airport.

Approval for the EK has been granted, and we look forward to supporting the next project phases.

On April 23rd, 2026, the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications issued planning approval for the "N06.32 EP Muri – Rubigen" maintenance project on the A6 motorway to FEDRO’s Thun branch. If no objections are received, the next phase of the planning process can be started. Actual maintenance work on this section of the motorway as well as on the Worb feeder road will be carried out from 2029 onwards.

METRO COPENHAGEN, NEW SIGNALLING SYSTEM ANALYSIS (NSSA)

Lines M1 and M2 of the driverless Copenhagen Metro are to receive a new signalling system. In a study of technical options, process scenarios, migration strategies and procurement solutions, R+R estimated life cycle costs for 18 different alternatives.

The driverless Copenhagen Metro consists of two unconnected line systems, M1/M2 and M3/M4. M1 was put into operation in 2002, M2 in 2007. Their signalling system will reach the end of its technical life in 2027. It was supplied by Ansaldo / Hitachi and is basically also operated by them. The existing system will be replaced by a system at least as modern as the one used on the Cityring, which opened in 2019. The Danish engineering company Rambøll was commissioned to examine technical solutions, process scenarios, migration strategies and procurement options. R+R has estimated the life cycle costs 2021-2065 for 18 strategic alternatives and analyzed the costs for capacity improvements with the existing system.
