AVA - Barrier-free access to the Hofacker and Hammergut stops

Barrier-free access on the Rudolfstetten-Zufikon line. Our main task in this project was to make two stops barrier-free in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act (BehiG). In addition, access and information systems were to be modernised.

Project description

All platform edges were raised and partially moved to provide barrier-free access. In the area of the existing passenger subway, the tracks were raised in order to create a ballast thickness that conformed to the regulations, which required the renewal of the entire track system, including the points around the stops. In addition, various maintenance work was planned on the carriageway over the Mutschellen, including tamping work in various sections of the line between the Hofacker and Hammergut stops. Coordinating all the work during the four-week total closure posed a particular challenge.

What the client says

‘The collaboration with Walo worked very well. Especially during the intensive construction phase, it is important not to lose any time! Instead of miserably long discussions, solutions were always worked out and implemented together. I was extremely pleased that we never heard the phrase ‘We can't do it’ during these four weeks.’

Michelle Badertscher, Head of Infrastructure East

‘We also greatly appreciate the harmonious and productive collaboration with Walo. At a time when there is often unnecessary friction and misunderstandings, it is all the more pleasing to see that we were able to work together efficiently and in a goal-orientated manner. ’

Cem Nacak, Project Manager AVA
