Reduction of maintenance deficits in the rail network

Reduction of maintenance deficits in the rail network

There is a huge backlog in the maintenance of the Swiss railway network. A steady expansion of the railway infrastructure combined with ever longer and heavier trains has led to an increasing load on the system components in recent years and therefore also to an increasing need for maintenance. The necessary projects and measures often have to be carried out during ongoing railway operations and in coordination with major projects. The complexity of maintenance is constantly increasing under these circumstances.

Rail infrastructure maintenance is the future

To ensure reliable rail transport, engineering structures, lines and stations must not only be built but also maintained:

  • Ensuring the smoothest possible operation on the world's busiest rail network
  • Carrying out major backlog measures in the maintenance of the rail network
  • Increase in maintenance requirements due to the growing burden of expansion projects, rolling stock and timetables
  • Scarcity of resources on the free market, especially due to the shortage of skilled labour


The tasks are complex and multi-layered. Solving them requires specific expertise with a great deal of knowledge about the rail network and its needs.

MORE CAPACITY IN THE RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

Urban sprawl and population growth in Switzerland continue to increase. As a result, the need for additional mobility services is growing. Rail is continuing to gain in importance compared to road transport. This applies to both passenger and freight transport, which must be shifted from road to rail. This is the only way to achieve the internationally agreed climate targets. By 2035, they will have to significantly increase the capacity of the rail infrastructure over several expansion stages. This will entail massive investment in expansion projects.

BUILDING AND OPERATING AS AN INCREASING CHALLENGE

Due to numerous expansion projects and more frequent services in recent years, the Swiss timetable has become increasingly dense in both local and long-distance transport. Added to this is the increase in freight traffic in response to the policy of shifting freight from road to rail. At the same time, new construction projects are putting pressure on the timetable situation and interfering with customers' journey times. Comprehensive planning of construction projects at the interface between construction and operation is therefore becoming increasingly important.
