Construction site visit to the Koralmtunnel project

In the summer of 2022, ARGE KAT DSS, consisting of European Trans Energy GmbH and Rhomberg Fahrleitungsbau GmbH, was commissioned to electrify the Koralm tunnel system and the access routes on the Styrian and Carinthian sides.

The ceiling power rail (DSS) to be installed enables travel speeds of up to 250 km/h. This means that the travel time with public transport (ÖBB) from Graz to Klagenfurt can be significantly shortened.

The main electrification work began in March 2024 and is scheduled to be completed in October 2024.
Members of the supervisory board and EUROPTEN employees took part in the visit to the construction site on June 4, 2024 and were given the opportunity to get an idea of ​​the employees' expertise and the challenges of the project.

Here are some impressions of the event.
