Tough battle with rocks and water

tunnel patron herself got on the backhoe
North bay homes builders yesterday on the way to the breakthrough of
the tunnel must.

Roth - who expected to see flying in blasting the boulders was
disappointed this time. When - of course only symbolic - Striking at
the southern entrance of the tunnels have lunch yesterday was a
different "stage directions" in force. The enterprising tunnel
godmother, Christine Zitzmann will, so railway spokesman Frank
Kniestedter announced before about 30 attendees - including miners,
railway officials but also spectators - most even swing the bucket and
break through the last wall.

This is what happened: Zitzmann drove from the north side in the 705
meter long tunnel in order to be admitted behind the imaginary barrier
in the technology of the last eruption. A short time later a thud
echoed from the tube and with a blow to the bucket drilled with a gray
"wall" made of plywood and metal mesh stretched over with tarpaulin.
First, only flew the plane, then the grid, and down at the spectators
did not have so many bad amazed at how professional conduct to the
district administrator can even heavy machinery. She did it so much we
can tell, not without male assistance. When the grid was broken
circular, the brash tunnel godmother was gallantly lifted out of the
cabin. Applause from the audience: "Good luck!". The subsequent tunnel
liquor was (so to speak logically) a "double Nordhäuser grain" that
ranged from the builders Schachtbau Nordhausen in the round. For
Zitzmann, it made a spring bouquet. - Flowers of gratitude, because of
lack of interest in the sponsor should not really complain to the
builders. Four times the district administrator in the past year seen
after "their miners" (as she herself put it more than once). And they
certainly did not come empty handed. She had, she says, suffered with
them for the many uncertainties of the construction. She had, she
assured also "very much to learn" above all, how hard and dangerous
the work was at times. "After one year of the hill is taken," she
says, "I'm very proud of my miners!"

€ 26 million of costs on 29 February a year ago in strikes must tunnel
between Roth and Döhlau who reportedly was not easy to aufzuwältigen.
Again, there have been several smaller fractures in the sandstone and
shale, which would have closed after the blast, it said. And even some
chunks of shale formations further north, it has swept millions of
years ago in the layers. Geology has made the northern bay houses the
peasants digging sometimes quite difficult. This was confirmed by the
manager responsible for underground Eberhard Anders, as he also spoke
of a "stony as aqueous path" through the mountain and thanked his men
who had almost mastered the driving schedule.

The saying of "resounding success" eventually sought Olaf Drescher,
overall project manager Nuremberg - Berlin of the DB project
construction, despite the financial crisis when he announced the
"rapid ongoing construction" of the ICE line. "With this construction
phase between the landscape between the formative and viaducts wins
Froschgrundsee Grümpen the implementation of the largest railway
project in Germany continue to speed," Drescher announced. The aim of
commissioning is 2017th Mainly due to construction activities in the
Thuringian side next to be strengthened. The tunnel would be required
to, although not exactly one of the greats, was therefore "an
important component within the entire route."

On the edge of breakdown ceremony was to be heard, that the tunnel
tree Leite, which is adjacent to the incision in the Grümpentalbrücke
and dear ones, opens this autumn struck by Theuerner page. The tunnel,
whose execution is not carried out, has a length of 1317 meters and an
overlay of approximately 30 meters.

In seek-tunnel, where the road level is still a piece of bench
aufzuwältigen, then work will begin on the inner formwork which is
provided on the basis of the leachate with an umbrella seal. Also the
tunnel floor has a ground water discharge. For the south entrance is a
panel provided with prefabricated parts. On the opposite side of the
tunnel exit rests in solid rock.
