Kabel Galerie
Short description
As part of the preparatory work for the Lausanne train station construction site, all the cables managing the region's rail activity had to be diverted. To do this, we have excavated and sealed two wells 27.00 and 22.00 deep, for the introduction of a micro tunnel machine with an external radius of 3.00 m, which will has drilled a 625 m long tunnel under the Lausanne train station. We also built 2 covered trenches to connect the existing networks to the cable gallery.
