Abstract: |
The 57 km long Gotthard Base Tunnel from Erstfeld to Bodio is not only the longest but with an overburden of about 2, 300 m also the deepest rail tunnel in the world. The tunnel system consists of two parallel single-track tunnels with the axes 40 m apart (in fault zones up to 70 m), connected every 312.5 m by a total of 178 cross passages. The two multi-function stations at the approximate third points in Sedrun and Faido have an emergency station for each running tunnel and two track crossovers. |
