After a three-year construction period, the new cargo center celebrated Grand Opening Ceremony in attendance of Jörg Leichtfried (Federal Minister for Transport, Innovation and Technology), Andreas Matthä, (Chairman of the Board for ÖBB-Holding AG), Jozef Vasak (European Commission), Maria Vassilakou (Vice Mayor of Vienna), Karl Wilfing (State Commissioner for Transportation Lower Austria on behalf of Governor Erwin Pröll) and Alois Schedl (Board Director of ASFINAG).
The Department of Transportation and ÖBB are making an effort to strengthen Austria as a place to do business and are creating an additional high-performance terminal in the Eastern region. Amongst other things, this site concentration is a big advantage for decreasing the inner city train and handling traffic, as well as the inner city truck traffic.
WERNER CONSULT is responsible for overall project management and coordinating the EIA planning process, railway and road planning, permit planning, drainage and installation planning, SFE planning, support structure planning and design of engineering structures, planning coordination according to Construction Work Coordination (Bau KG) Act, workplace evaluation, malfunction investigation, tunnel safety S1, construction phase planning process, local construction supervision and public relation tasks in this Project.
