Centralbahnplatz Basel

The streetcar tracks at Centralbahnplatz near Basel main station were replaced on behalf of Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB). The track excavation, re-laying and concreting at the track crossing had to be carried out during the night so the streetcar lines could resume rush-hour traffic unhindered punctually at 05:00 in the morning. The special concrete Concretum® Q-FLASH 2/20 was used to keep to the tight schedule. The set open time of 90 minutes enabled safer delivery from the concrete plant in Muttenz and there was enough time to place and vibrate the concrete.
