The official TBM launch ceremony took place in February 2016 and marked the start of the construction of the 3.2 km long Belchen rehabilitation tunnel. ILF Consulting Engineers has been entrusted with the construction supervision of the tunnel and, together with partners, also with its design.

With a diameter of 14 m, a length of 75 m and a weight of 2,000 tons, the TBM is currently the largest of its kind in Switzerland. In the next one and half years, the TBM will advance through geologically demanding zones of the Swiss Jura mountain range and will be driven through the mountain at distance of 40-116 m to the existing tunnel system and parallel to it. Subsequently the final lining is also to be constructed.

To further raise peopleai??i??s awareness of how they can help the environment by switching to travelling by rail, the Austrian Federal Railways (Ai??BB) have recently initiated the environmental programme Ai??STERREICH BLA?HT AUF (AUSTRIA IS BLOSSOMING).

By travelling by rail when on business trips ILF has saved more than 15.25 tonnes in CO2 emissions in one year and was able to support the project ai???Paradies fA?r Amphibien (Paradise for amphibians)ai??? with the 97,734 Green Points that ILF employees collected from the Ai??BB.

As the sustainable protection of the environment is of utmost importance for our company both with regard to the structures and facilities designed by ILF and with regard to our daily project work, we appreciate this initiative and see it as a motivation to further increase our efforts in this respect.

TECON Engineering (a company of the ILF-Group) has been awarded a contract for the ai???Study for Energy Alternatives for Steam Generation for EOR purposesai??? by Mansarovar Energy, a Colombian O&G operator which is a JV between SINOPEC and ONGC Videsh.

Mansarovar operates the NARE Block in Middle Magdalena region, with a total production of 40 kbpd of heavy oil. For this operation Mansarovar injects steam in the oil reservoirs- The steam is produced by several steam generators distributed throughout the whole block, and the fuel supply for these generators requires an in-depth implementation study. TECON will develop a comprehensive study for all the industrial energy sources available in Colombia, including CST (Concentrated Solar Thermal) which can provide suitable energy supply for the steam generators. In addition, using a renewable source of energy for EOR production is an unparalleled pioneering technology to date.
