EP Hagnau – Augst N02
Within the Hagnau – Augst motorway maintenance project, structural changes to the western tunnel portal (direction Basel/Germany) have to be carried out to enable longitudinal ventilation in both traffic directions. We are pleased that the plans for the extension of the western portal of Schweizerhalle tunnel have officially been approved. This allows us to finalise the detailed design and approach the contractor submission process according to our project schedule.

PLAUSIBILITY OF DUTCH ERTMS COST ESTIMATES
Since 2014, R+R has provided consulting services to the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment on questions of ERTMS costs and budgeting, as well as on the optimal rollout and procurement strategy, under budget restrictions.
The Netherlands have decided to convert the main lines and Trans-European corridors of their railway network to the European Train Control System (ETCS) level 2. Funds of 2-3 billion Euros have been allocated for this purpose. The programme planning is ambitiuos, as the best implementation strategy has to be developed, leading to the greatest possible benefit at the lowest possible operational risk. R+R reviewed the cost estimates and provided feedback on the costs of the specific ETCS systems and on-board equipment. In addition, R+R validated the methodology and plausibility of the rollout planning.
