Koralm Tunnel – Construction complete

But no trains without stations! Work on the two stations Weststeiermark and Lavanttal is also progressing. Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH is responsible for structural engineering for both. The steel structures for the station building in Weststeiermark and the “park & ride” canopy in Lavanttal are currently being planned in detail. For the free-form roof area of the station building in Weststeiermark—also known among the planners as the “bubble”—all bearing plates for the trapezoidal sheets were modelled within a very short time using Grasshopper, a parametric add-on to one of our planning tools. In addition to the stations, the “Airport spur FW2”, which is also under Construction, is currently being worked on from a structural engineering perspective. Also planned by the Thomas Lorenz team on the Koralmbahn line and already in operation are structures such as the FW12 underpass route in Wildon and several bridge structures in Weststeiermark.
