In July, work officially began on the “Pfons-Brenner” building lot of the Brenner Base Tunnel – currently the largest infrastructure project in Europe. The Rail Cargo Group is the one delivering supplies to the massive building lot on the eco-friendly railway lines. A purpose-built industrial siding facilitates the end-to-end provision of supplies to the construction site.
Modern railway infrastructure is a prerequisite when it comes to making mobility- and transport systems sustainable, and a vast number of ongoing ÖBB-Infrastruktur building projects right in the heart of Europe are doing just that. Work on the Brenner Base Tunnel is well underway.
The Rail Cargo Group is the one bringing supplies to the building site – and in an eco-friendly way. The first supplies will be transported mid-July. It will begin with up to 630 tonnes of sand and gravel being transported on a daily basis from the Schönwies gravel quarry in Tyrol directly to the construction site. From September, block trains with 17 wagons will be delivering supplies each day. That means 1100 net tonnes of building materials will be delivered in an environmentally friendly way every single day; by the end of the year, it should amount to up to 60,000 tonnes of supplies transported.
