The Megaproject “Second Gotthard Tube”
The construction of the second Gotthard tunnel tube, one of Europe’s most significant infrastructure projects, demands top performance. With over 7.4 million tons of excavated rock along 16.9 km, the project is a logistical and technical feat. GIPO is making a crucial contribution to efficient on-site material processing with its crushing and screening plants.
Our technology stands for:
✔️ Reliability under extreme conditions
✔️ High throughput capacity
✔️ Durability and dependability
✔️ Sustainable material recycling
✔️ Environmentally friendly operation with GIPOGREEN
