Microtunneling: ILF completes design of stormwater drainage
moreILF was commissioned by the political municipality of Niederglatt (Switzerland) to perform the civil engineering works for a stormwater drainage system.
This paperless project was successfully executed in a consortium with B+B using the BIM2Field method. The microtunnelling works (DN 1400) over two reaches with a total length of 350 m were completed in July 2021. The civil engineering works have also been completed and included various shaft structures, an intake structure below the river water level and various adjustments to the existing sewer system.
Despite delays of around three months due to lowering of the groundwater level in the difficult subsoil conditions, ILF was able to complete the works within the originally planned time frame.
