Flachgauertunnel

Seekirchnertunnel: double tube – single track railway tunnel with a length of 14.37 km, about 13.33 km driven by TBM and NATM.

Grafenholztunnel: double tube – single track railway tunnel with a length of 2.09 km, about 1.14 km driven by NATM.

Project:

The Flachgauertunnel, with a total length of 16,502 m, consist of two tunnels (Seekirchnertunnel, length: 14,502 m, Grafenholztunnel, length: 2,087.5 m). Both tunnels are connected by a tunnel-bridge crossing the river Fischach (length: 44.5 m).

The selected alignment (total length: approx. 21.08 km) diverts from the existing ÖBB-railway track at the Köstendorf curve, circumnavigates the villages Seekirchen and Elixhausen, crosses the river Fischach, underpasses the hill Grafenholz and joins the ÖBB-track again at Kasern, a northern suburb of the City of Salzburg.

The Flachgauertunnel is designed as a single-track double-tube tunnel. For tunnel construction different construction methods are required, such as cut & cover and concrete slab cover excavation, drill & blast well as TBM (EPB) excavation.

The tunnel has a continuous down slope gradient of 0.8% as a maximum from east-portal of Seekirchnertunnel to west-portal of Grafenholztunnel.
