Expansion of Stadelhofen railway station: vibration monitoring
Stadelhofen station is being expanded from three to four tracks to cope with the predicted increase to 130,000 passengers per day by 2050. As the lead partner of the commissioned planning consortium, Basler & Hofmann is responsible for the overall planning mandate from concept design to commissioning. Our diverse tasks also include monitoring vibration and structure-borne noise.

As part of the expansion, the station will be extended from three to four tracks. In addition, the Riesbach tunnel in the direction of Tiefenbrunnen will be extended from one to two tracks. Two new tunnels will have to be built for these extensions. We have been commissioned to investigate the vibration and structure-borne noise of rail traffic using measurements and forecasts and to assess the impact on Environmental Engineering. The challenge is to define suitable protective measures in the inner-city environment.
