Koralmbahn Construction Progress

The heart of the Koralmbahn on the Carinthian side is the new station in St. Paul im Lavanttal, whose area extends from the exit of the Koralm Tunnel to the portal of the Granitztal Tunnel. But construction is also progressing diligently in Styria, specifically at the West Styria station in Groß St. Florian, where the steel structures for the reception building, planned by Thomas Lorenz, will soon be erected. In addition to the stations, the “Airport Branch FW2”, which is also under construction, is currently being structurally engineered. The technical highlight of this 19 km long section of track is the new 3.2 km long cut-and-cover tunnel in open construction, including adjoining trough and retaining wall sections (total length including cut-and-cover tunnel approx. 5.6 km), for which Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH, together with the civil engineering office Eisner from Graz, is responsible for the structural calculations and the preparation of the execution plans. Objects such as the FW12 cut-and-cover tunnel under the A9 in Wildon and several prestressed bridge structures in Western Styria, also planned by the Thomas Lorenz team on the Koralmbahn route, are already in operation.
