Test of endurance for Man and Machine- 
Rock conveying at Lötschberg-Base tunnel

 
Semi-dark, noisy, wet, dirty and dangerous – that is the world of the roughly 1000 tunnel construction workers that struggle through the hard rock at the Lötschberg. Even today, the work they perform is backbreaking, but at least they receive mechanical and technical support. For example by a conveying system that transports 2000 tons of rock per hour 1.5 km to daylight. The Marti AG of Moosseedorf, Switzerland, designed and constructed this giant, a marvel of engineering filled with drives and control technology. To stay ahead of things, a powerful visualization system is needed: WinCC.
