Route Lustenau - Lauterach, Route and Railway Station Expansion
Project Description:
The National Tourist Office Vorarlberg has recorded traffic congestion in 30 minute intervals for the short distance route St. Margrethen – Lauterach. Consequently the following measures were derived:
- Increasing the speed limit in the Lustenau – Hard u. Hard – Lauterach section (to 130 km/h)
- Improving traffic lanes Harder Bogen (110 km/h instead of 90 km/h)
- Adapting the North Loop (road connection for Lindau – Bregenz)
- Upgrading the Hard-Fußach stop to meet short distance traffic requirements
- New barrier-free construction of the Lauterach West stop
- Two-track gap-closure Hard-Fußach – Lauterach West
- Court yard design featuring Park&Ride and bus parking at the Hard-Fußach stop, new access areas
- Court yard design featuring Bike&Ride facility at the Lauterach-West stop
Since this is a long-distance route an EIA-process must be initiated with the country of Vorarlberg. A total of 34 specialty fields have been coordinated within the scope of the EIA-process. In addition to the technical planning process, public relation documents have also been prepared. For the most part, construction will be implemented without affecting regular railway traffic.

Macedonia – Route Kicevo - Albanian Border
Project Description:
In collaboration with the work consortium TYPSA, Louis Berger and Davos Invest WERNER CONSULT has been commissioned to handle the permit application process and detail planning, as well as preparing the tender documents for the railway route from Kicevo to the Albanian border in Macedonia.
This is a partial segment of the Trans-European corridor VIII. The corridor is routed from the Bulgarian city Warna on the Black Sea through Sofia to Macedonia. In Macedonia, through Skopje up to Kicevo where the work consortium’s planning contract starts, it then continues to the Albanian border where the planning contract is concluded. In Albania it is routed from the border through Albania to the city of Durres on the Mediterranean Sea. The corridor connects Bari und Brindisi in Italy.
The project is subsidized by the Regional European Development Fund.
The route segment we have been commissioned to plan is a one track section for a distance of 63 kilometers, it includes 13 tunnels with an overall length of 12 km, the longest individual tunnel covers a distance of 5.7 km, 49 bridges with a total distance of 4.4 km (Treska bridge 400 m long 70-75m height), 3 railway stations and 4 stops as well as 26 over and under passes.

S-Bahn Rhine-Main, Dual-Track Expansion Steinheim Stop
Project Description:
The S-Bahnplus program is part of superior traffic policy concepts. It is also part of the Frankfurt Rhine-Mainplus project, a program for improving the track infrastructure in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region. The goal of these measures is the general improvement of the Rhine-Main street rail punctuality. One of the measures contemplated here is the expansion of the current Steinheim stop (in the area of the one-track segment of route 3680, Frankfurt am Main crossroad Schlachthof – Hanau Central Railway Station) to a two-track cross-over Railway Station. This will shorten the one-track route; building an additional crossing option will enable a reduction of consequential delays due to a more flexible operating process.
The two-track expansion of the route requires earthworks in addition to the superstructure project. This includes areas where dams, sections, as well as land-leveling must be expanded and/or built. Due to the newly planned second street rail track, which is to be built, structures must be extended and support walls must be constructed. The existing railway platform will be built out as a center platform.

Route Feldkirch - Bregenz, Terminal Wolfurt
Project Description:
The existing Vorarlberger Terminal is one of the most important freight traffic hubs in Austria, but by today's standards it is no longer capable of meeting the qualitative and quantitative requirements.
The expansion concept envisions a brand new utilization concept of the existing space, including the neighboring property, and strives to achieve the following goals:
■ Replacing the short tracks with tracks of an entire train length, with a dual-sided integrated crane module on a curved crane track.
■ Optimal usage of the entire space as an empty container depot including service facilities (repair stations, container washing station, forklift maintenance facility)
■ New road access system, incl. truck-in gate and pre-loading options for trucks.
■ Separating traffic (KLV, WLV)

ÖBB line Feldkirch - Buchs
Project Description:
The railway line from Feldkirch to Buchs, which has been in place since 1874, is 18.5 km long. The East-West-Euro-City connection is an important segment of the connection between Vienna and Zurich. 6 stops and 3 train stations are located on this segment of the route. Between km7.72 und km 9.67 an improved line to a designed speed of 100km/h will be implemented. The route will be expanded to 2 tracks between km 7.74 und 12.20
