VIJENAC TUNNEL – STAGE 2
Preparations for the Stage 2 of construction works on the Vijenac Tunnel are under way. Euro-Asfalt is leading the consortium which has been tasked with waterproofing, building of the secondary concrete lining and the surface road, and partial installation of the electronic tunnel infrastructure. The time for completion is 12 months. Vijenac is a twin-tube tunnel roughly 2,950 metres in length. It will be the longest tunnel in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The tunnel’s design complies with the latest industrial standards, and it will be one of the leading tunnels when it comes to safety measures and equipment. Currently the work is focused on the erection of formwork on the southern side, as well as the installation of drainage and waterproofing systems. The equipment used is designed specifically for tunnel construction. It includes complex mechanical shores and formwork that are mounted on rail tracks and can be moved as the work progresses.
