Pavement Construction Phases

The Gschwendareal Pavement and Environmental Works project, located in Steffisburg, Switzerland, involved extensive pavement and grading work across the entire site. The work was executed in multiple stages to ensure thorough coverage and integration with the surrounding environment. The main focus was on road and pavement construction, accounting for both the technical and logistical challenges posed by the site.

Manual Material Handling

Due to the load class of individual components, heavy paving machines could not be used in certain areas of the project. Instead, materials had to be transported between locations and placed manually or with light machinery. This approach ensured that the pavement installations were completed without compromising the structural integrity of the existing site elements.

Completion and Project Value

The project had a total construction volume valued at approximately 120,000 CHF (122,000 EUR, 105,000 GBP, 1.3 M NOK, 1.3 M SEK, 130,000 USD). It was carried out by Implenia Switzerland Ltd as the sole contractor, under the general management of HRS Real Estate AG, with Stähli Gartengestaltung GmbH as the building owner. The project commenced in November 2022 and was successfully completed in May 2023.
