Zurich Stadelhofen Station Tender

Project duration October 2017 March 2022 pre-project phase planned commissioning of the overall project December 2035Scope of WorkExpansion of Zurich Stadelhofen Station.DescriptionThe Swiss Federal Railways SBB rail infrastructure development program will see a significant increase in the capacity of Zurich Stadelhofen station by 2035. The necessary construction work is highly complex particularly with regard to technical feasibility and the construction process as work has to be undertaken in the city without interrupting rail operations. Essentially the project involves the expansion of the station the remodeling of existing facilities and the construction of new tunnel sections.Drees Sommer rail infrastructure experts undertook a comprehensive analysis of the project during the pre-project phase. Based on their findings the team introduced a project handbook and established a mandatory document filing structure. These basic tools were supplemented by a clear project structure plan and a project management schedule combined with strict document management. Drees Sommer established regular project control meetings and training on key PM topics. This helped the many project participants maintain and comply with the developed standards and specifications. The team also supported the principals representatives at key meetings.The entire project is based on SBBs sustainability strategy and is in keeping with the principle of ecologically and socially sustainable development of both the economy and society. A resilient future-proof railway infrastructure not only protects the climate but also benefits the towns and cities it connects.More stringent safety standards and barrier-free design of the station are also stated objectives of the project. Synergy effects will make many construction processes cheaper and more efficient. Sustainable consumption and production concepts are firmly anchored in the strategy for the planned sales areas in the station. By establishing basic organizational structures and providing intensive and proactive scheduling support for the principal Drees Sommer succeeded in meeting all deadlines and establishing high quality standards. As a result the SSB project is ideally positioned for the actual execution phase.
