Two machines are currently in use to precisely cut out the massive concrete blocks in the B section. In the coming weeks, the number of wire saws used will be increased to five or six.

By mid-July, the outer walls are to be completed up to the height of the B level, i.e. just under nine metres. At the same time, the PORR civil engineering team is attaching great importance to aesthetics: thanks to high-quality materials, the concrete surfaces look almost like prefabricated elements. Another aesthetic highlight is the completed ramp collar.

The construction site is impressive with its imposing scaffolding structures. The supporting scaffolding on which the B-level to be dismantled rests will later extend to the two-metre-thick station ceiling. Steel tubes with a diameter of approximately one metre are being installed for reinforcement – only then can the B-level be completely dismantled. Sixteen steel tube stiffeners have already been installed. In the head areas (blocks 1 and 7), these are divided into three sections as there are partition walls.

In addition to the progress made, the team is particularly proud of its exemplary occupational safety record. Not a single accident has been recorded on the construction site for 300 days now. This is a strong sign of the commitment of everyone involved.
