Versatile Tunnel Solutions
Tunnels are marvellous works of engineering. Built under rock, earth or water, they connect cities, regions and even countries. Our systems and services support the fast, safe and economical construction of tunnels.
Tunnels are an integral part of our society. They have been built for thousands of years to make our lives easier and faster and allow for an improvement of our societies. Tunnels are ways to connect people.
Overcoming obstacles and finding solutions is part of our DNA, this is also one of the reasons why we love the construction of tunnels. No matter what method is used, we strive to find the best way for your tunneling project.
PERI Standard Tunnel Solutions
PERI standard tunnel solutions for cut-and-cover and mining construction methods allow for easy and safe construction. Additionally, they are adaptable to numerous requirements. A lot of our tunnelling systems are also rentable.
KERN Special Tunnel Solutions
For many mining tunnel projects, standard solutions cannot cover all requirements. With our Partner KERN Tunneltechnik, we provide solutions that go beyond what standard systems can achieve.
Leading the Way in Tunnel Construction Innovation
Together with KERN Tunneltechnik, a member of the PERI Group, we embody a vision that sets us apart in the tunnelling infrastructure industry. For your project, this means that in addition to our standard solutions, you can now also obtain KERN customised solutions. These include innovative machines, technologies and services.
From fully automated formwork and logistics systems to backup equipment and special service machinery, our portfolio is designed to cover the entire lifecycle of a project. This includes design, production, on-site installation, and project supervision. With respect to digitialisation, we are at the forefront of introducing smart tunnel construction technologies.
From the initial concept to the installation of the complete system, our team of experts ensures that our overall solutions meet the highest industry standards.
International Tunnel Projects
Our solutions are tailored to the requirements of our customers, optimise material consumption and construction progress, and also ensure increased cost security. With our profound expertise, we offer you professional support throughout the entire course of the project.
Thames Tideway, London, United Kingdom
Advanced Fullround Shutters for secondary lining with diverse diameters, setting automations, K-ONE casting system by KERN and innovations that set a new standard in the tunnelling industry.
A26 Access Tunnel, Linz Austria
The A26 project is one of the most important infrastructure projects in the Austrian city of Linz and the surrounding area with the goal to ease congestion on its urban transport network. The key to success during the project implementation stage was a PERI engineering solution that was innovative, safe and efficient in equal measure, coupled with comprehensive project support. The highlight: The first fully hydraulic tunnel formwork carriage with a caterpillar drive in Austria.
Marieholm Tunnel, Gothenburg
The Marieholm Tunnel in Gothenburg is a road tunnel with three lanes in each direction. The 306 m long immersed tunnel section crosses the Gota älv river. An important boundary condition to take into consideration during the execution was not to negatively affect the sensitive ecosystem of the river. The tunnel has a planned service life of 120 years. The tunnel was constructed as an immersed tunnel. For this, three tunnel sections each more than 100 m long were produced in a dry dock, then brought into their final position and lowered to the riverbed. The dry dock directly extended from the course of the tunnel. After completion of the three tunnel segments, the tunnel access section was realized in this dry dock using the cut-and-cover construction method.
Alter Elbtunnel, Hamburg
The listed St. Pauli Elbtunnel has connected the Landungsbrücken with the port area in Steinwerder for 100 years. It is considered a landmark of the city and represents engineering art as the first river tunnel on the European mainland. After the access buildings on both sides of the Elbe were renovated 10 years ago, it is now the turn of the eastern of the two 426 m long tunnel tubes at a depth of almost 25 m.
Øresund Link, Denmark
A 4-km-long tunnel as part of a motorway and railway connection between Denmark and Sweden with a bridge, tunnel and an artificial island in the transition section. The tunnel consists of 20 tunnel elements which are each 176 m long and 42 m wide in eight single segments.
Bank Station, London, United Kingdom
London Underground is going through significant changes across some of its most populated stations, Bank Station being one of them. With it being the third busiest inter-change, the current station was undergoing an expansion of its Northern line platform, complete with the installation of several escalators and a new public entrance.
Gubrist Tunnel, Regensdorf, Switzerland
Outstanding engineering and supply project by KERN for Gubrist Tunnel renovation with logistic bridge and transport system: Invert casting, culvert placement crane with manipulator, transport by MSG-01.
