Thank you TRANSCO Sedun for the unique opportunity and gracious support!

Working for and at the Gotthard Base Tunnel from 1999 until 2014, we supported all major contractors at Sedrun, Amsteg, Bodio and Faido, including the Total Services Contractor installing and commissioning the high-speed railway systems, for all required Safety Management Systems (SMS), Risk Assessments (RA), Conformity Assessments (CA) and CE Markings (CEM) of all Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM’s) and other critical equipment, project-specific audits,
Process/Safety Reviews (PSR’s) and many other second level support tasks.
