Zingel quarry

Seewen, Switzerland / 11.2015 - 07.2018

Up until the end of summer 2018, for the total project duration of more than two years, PORR specialists will be working on this spectacular construction site in the middle of a cliff face. Their work has nearly all been performed on hanging ropes. They have blasted rock, created vertical shoring and, after extensive clearing and cleaning, covered the rock face with steel netting to provide long-lasting protection.
