From April to November, employees of the Felbermayr division civil engineering worked on the expansion of the tunnel chain Klaus. The scope of the contract mainly included road and pipeline construction.

Felbermayr’s Civil Engineering Department started conversion work on the junctions of Sankt Pankraz and Klaus on the A9 motorway in Austria in April. In the process, the Road Construction Department’s workers performed road bed construction work and laid some 17,000 square metres of three-layer asphalt. The contract furthermore included the construction of a so-called CNAS route from Klaus to Windischgarsten as well as the laying of sheathing and tubes for the installation of fibre optics cables. Construction work could be completed in November. However, Felbermayr’s Construction Site Traffic Guidance Department will conceptually accompany traffic flow all the way to the end of the full completion of the tunnel chain on the A9 Pyhrnautobahn motorway. According to client Asfinag, the eight-kilometre-long section is scheduled to be opened to traffic in 2018.
