BRENNER BASE TUNNEL
General
The 64-km long Brenner Base Tunnel (BBT) runs between Innsbruck/Tulfes
and Fortezza. It is a closely woven tunnel system consisting of main tubes,
an exploratory tunnel, access and connecting tunnels. Were one to lay the
individual tunnels end to end, the entire length would be 230 km. Thirtyone km have been excavated and a further forty-four are in the tender and
awards phase at present, for a total amount of over 800 million Euro. In
Austria, the Ampass and Ahrental access tunnels, the exploratory tunnel
section from Innsbruck to Ahrental as well as the two logistics tunnels
(Padaster and Saxen) at Steinach am Brenner have been completed.
Excavation has been under way since December of 2013 on the Wolf
access tunnel (Wolf 2 construction site).
Wolf 2 Construction Site
The Wolf access tunnel and the underground tunnel in the Padaster
valley are being built starting from this site (see illustration). The access
tunnel leads 4 km downwards to the level of the two main tunnel tubes.
The excavation cross section is 110 m². On average six volleys are blown
every day, meaning that the tunnel grows by 10 metres per day. The
underground tunnel in the Padaster valley is being built for the re-routing
of the Padaster brook. This is a pre-condition for filling the Padaster valley
with the excavated spoil from the tunnel.

ACCOMPANYING
PERSONS PROGRAM
THURSDAY, 09th OCT. 2014
GROSSGMAIN OPEN AIR MUSEUM STIEGLS BREWERY
We are going to Großgmain, a 700 years old settlement in a rural
agriculture setting, located close to the regional capital of Salzburg and
scattered around the foothills of the impressive Untersberg mountain.
There we will visit one of the oldest Virgin Mary Pilgrimage Churches.
Over the centuries countless pilgrims have journeyed to this church with
its „Beautiful Madonna” dating from around 1400. It is reported to have
miraculous powers.
Then we will discover the famous Salzburg Open Air Museum - a site
of over 120 acres now home to 100 original old farmhouses as well as
original structures from the worlds of crafts and commerce (guided tour).
If we have time to spare we can go through this area 1.7 km by a historic
narrow gauge railway.
After lunch we will visit the Stiegls Brewery - The Art of Brewing at the
Highest Level.
14
Up to the 16th century the brewing of beer was women’s business only.
Later these ladies were persecuted as witches and often punished with
penalty to death. So brewing beer finally became a domain for men. In
remembrance of this time we are visiting the most famous brewery of
Salzburg with a very interesting museum which tells everything about
brewing beer from its beginning up to now.

EUROCK 2015 64th GEOMECHANICS COLLOQUY
The Austrian Society for Geomechanics proudly announces that the
European Rock Mechanics Symposium EUROCK 2015 - 64th Geomechanics
Colloquy will be held from 07th to 10th of October 2015 at the Congress
Center in Salzburg.
The topics of this congress you may retrieve from our homepage
www.oegg.at / www.eurock2015.com or, respectively, they are added to
the conference materials of the 63rd Geomechanics Colloquy.
LEOPOLD-MÜLLER-AWARD
For excellent doctoral theses with practical relevance in the area of
rock mechanics and geological engineering the Austrian Society for
Geomechanics awards annually the LEOPOLD-MÜLLER-AWARD.
The Austrian Society for Geomechanics invites to submit doctoral
theses that apply a holistic approach - in the spirit of Leopold Müller - to
geomechanics and geology and that correspond to the objectives of the
Austrian Society for Geomechanics - accompanied by a short evaluation
of the thesis by the university institute in question. Applications should
be submitted latest by the end of January 2015 to the Austrian Society
for Geomechanics, Innsbrucker Bundesstraße 67, 5020 Salzburg, Austria
(Europe). Further information regarding the Leopold-Müller-Award can be
retrieved from our homepage: www.oegg.at.
