The word's longest railway tunnel is being constructed here.

We are building the future.

The company and the contract

AlpTransit Gotthard Ltd was founded on May 12, 1998. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Swiss Federal Railways (SFR) with headquarters in Lucerne and branch offices in Altdorf, Sedrun, Faido and Bellinzona. AlpTransit Gotthard Ltd currently has approximately 140 employees.

AlpTransit Gotthard Ltd is the constructor of the Gotthard axis of the New Rail Link through the Alps with base tunnels through the Gotthard, Zimmerberg and Ceneri.

The construction work itself is carried out by consortia of different contractors. Applications for jobs in tunnel construction should therefore be addressed directly to the consortia involved in the construction.

Ceneri - State of excavation

Watch the tunnellers at work - the new documentary film "AlpTransit Gotthard 2009" makes it possible. The milestones and progress achieved in 2009 on the construction sites of the Gotthard and Ceneri tunnels are available on DVD.
