Tower-relocation due to highway expansion and conductor replacement for the 132-kV Brislach-Wangen line.

Project Description:‍

This project involves the relocation of a 150 kV overhead line tower on the Brislach-Wangen line due to the approved 6-lane expansion of the Luterbach-Härkingen section near Wangen a. A., undertaken by ASTRA. As a result of the tower relocation, the conductor wires spanning the Aare River and the A1 motorway will need to be replaced.

Additionally, as part of a maintenance measure, the old conductor wires of the affected overhead line system will be replaced over a section of approximately 4 km.

Key Aspects of the Project:

1. Background:
   The tower relocation of the 150 kV Brislach-Wangen overhead line is necessitated by the approved 6-lane expansion of the Luterbach-Härkingen section near Wangen a. A. by ASTRA.
2. Tower Relocation:
   The tower relocation requires replacing the conductor wires in the span crossing the Aare River and the A1 motorway.
3. Maintenance Measure:
   A maintenance measure will also be carried out, involving the renewal of conductor wires over a section of approximately 4 km of the overhead line system.
4. Approval by the Federal Office of Transport (BAV):
   The project has been approved and will be implemented in coordination with the Federal Roads Office (ASTRA).
5. Project Coordination:
   Collaboration with various stakeholders, including ASTRA, to ensure efficient and compliant implementation of the project.

FGS supports AFRY Switzerland AG in this project in the areas of planning, obtaining necessary approvals, project coordination, preparation of tender documents, and coordination of construction preparation.
