Pre-casted Crosscut Closure Element – Launching Event
15.02.2021 | 18:24
On 14 December 2017, the SCAUT consortium under the leadership of the Elkuch Group introduced the project ‘Crosscut Closure Module’ to an expanded SCAUT audience. Michael Lierau, Elkuch managing director, gave a brief review of the development of the project and the collaboration with SCAUT. Afterwards, the placement of the closure module was demonstrated to the participants at a scale of 1:1 in the VSH. In less than 6 minutes, a fully equipped closure wall for a crosscut can be assembled in the tunnel from a transport vehicle so it is ready for operation.


In his final remarks concerning the perspective for the future, M. Lierau stated that starting in February 2018, the closure module concept would be presented by the consortium to various interested clients and tunnel operators throughout Europe. This is slated to take place in the context of the ‘Crosscut of the Future’ SCAUT project that is currently in development.
