Tunnel-chain Granitztal

Project description

The approximately 6 km long tunnel chain runs as part of the Koralm railway between the Lavant and Jauntal valleys. It consists of the tunnel Deutsch-Grutschen (2.6 km), the enclosure Granitztal (0.6 km) and the tunnel Langer Berg (2.9 km). It is designed as a twin-tube tunnel system with cross-cuts every 500 m. In the Granitz Valley area, the railway line will be constructed using the cut-and-cover method, whereby the Granitzbach stream will be bridged using a special construction method. A ventilation structure and a rescue access is also located in this area. In the final stage, the tunnel tubes will be backfilled.
