Since December 2006 the Finne Tunnel as part of the German Unity Transport Project No. 8 is being constructed. With a total length of almost 7 kilometers, the Finne Tunnel is the longest tunnel of the new railway line Erfurt-Leipzig/Halle. This segment is part of the connection Nuremberg-Berlin.

From 2017 on, trains with a maximum speed of 300 km/h will be able to connect the two metropolises, Berlin and Munich, within a duration of less than 4 hours.

The magnitudes of this project are enormous. 15 kilometers of new construction roads are being built. In the western part of the construction site a huge storage area has been set up. The entire construction site has a total size of about 14.5 hectare.

The two tunnel drilling machines were created especially for this project in order to react on the particularities of the rock formations.

 

Facts and figures:

  • Tunnel length: 6970 meter
  • Excavated material: 1,4 Million cubic meter
  • Duration of the project: 2006 – 2011 (planned)
  • Total project volume: 249 Million Euro

Successful project collaboration with EPLASS:

On this particular construction site over 250 people from different disciplines are employed. Furthermore, other designers, checking engineers, and geotechnical engineers are also involved in the project. By using EPLASS Professional all these project participants received access to all relevant documents.

By use of different workflows, both the preliminary as well as the construction phase processes, in addition to the structural analysis, are being reviewed digitally and approved for construction. Via a special interface, the federal railway authority is also involved in the project.

In addition to the design management via EPLASS Professional, the digital construction documentation is being archived within the EPLASS Correspondence document management system (DMS), and also the administration and review procedures of all claims are being processed within the EPLASS Claim Management module.
