Intschi UR, Switzerland / 10.2020 - 11.2020

It is not without reason that PORR is considered an outstanding expert in rock technology. The firm has once again proven her experience and competence. Within only a few weeks our experienced rock team was responsible for the securing of the cantonal road between Gurtnellen and Intschi.

A total of 140m³ of loose rock was removed in the Graggerhofstatt area.

Rock demolition hanging from the rope.

Most of the work was executed hanging from the rope. We not only removed the unstable rock, but also carried out urgently needed rock securing and anchoring work. In accordance with our motto "safety first", the entire operation on the rock was carried out under permanent securing and re-securing work.

What ultimately counts in the construction business is successfully completed projects. PORR has many of these.
