VBZ - Tram Tracks Maintenance Works Wiedikon (Zurich)

For maintenance and renewal work on the tram tracks at Zurich Wiedikon station, the rapid-hardening concrete Q-FLASH 5/20 was used. A total of 100 m³ of concrete was installed, which was produced at the Ebirec concrete plant in Rümlang, approximately 30 minutes from the project site.

This rapid-hardening concrete achieves a compressive strength of 20 MPa in just 5 hours after installation, ensuring swift execution and minimal disruption to rail or road traffic.

The rapid-hardening concretes from Concretum Construction Science AG not only offer fast execution but also long-term durability comparable to, if not longer than, traditional concrete. This guarantees speed and longevity for an intelligent, environmentally friendly, and cost-efficient solution.
