For almost 20 years, I have specialized in excavation work in areas that are difficult to access and in mountainous regions. Almost every job requires new creative solutions, which I can carry out cleanly and quickly for you thanks to my experience and with the necessary safety precautions in mind.

In mountain pipeline construction, you constantly encounter new challenges in order to install pipelines appropriately and permanently. Crossings of natural watercourses are not uncommon. Special frost conditions in winter must be taken into account.



To avoid difficult transport of pipe casing material, existing material on the construction site is sifted directly with an excavator and installed as casing.

In various pipeline projects for the region's basic infrastructure, pipelines were installed across the lake. Here, for example, anchors are being set for the electrical cable that now runs along the lake bed from Spiez to Hünibach. The pipes are also buried underwater at the connection points on the shores to prevent damage from ships. Shore walls, landing stages, boat channels, and port facilities are further areas of application for which I am ideally equipped.

Almost impossible obstacles require unconventional solutions. This scaffolding made it possible to carry out the pointed work for a cast pressure pipe. Pressure pipes require routes that are as direct as possible.
 

In the Weissenau-Unterseen nature reserve, I constructed a total of five bridges and funnel mouths with natural-looking banks. This enhanced the lake promenade for the local recreation area and restored the shallow banks for amphibians.

Terrain work in high mountains requires great care when dealing with the adjacent terrain in order to avoid unnecessary damage to the sparse vegetation. Skilful use of walking excavators in these sensitive areas helps to leave as few permanent traces as possible in the landscape.

Mountain pipelines

Pipeline construction in the mountains and on steep slopes is our daily business.
Years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment enable us to work efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner
processing of the routes. We look forward to every new challenge.
