04 Road Construction
Detailed expertise
Road construction is a special challenge due to changing and partially difficult ground and weather conditions
and the intensive use of resources. The decisive part is a perfect organisation and long experience.
Road construction projects of any size are handled by the ALPINE specialists with know-how, top-of-the-line
technology and a comprehensive portfolio.
Tunnel and channel construction
ALPINE itself can provide any tunnel and channel construction works as part of
new road constructions, decontamination and complete overhaul works. This allows
to flexibly coordinate and perfectly handle the entire construction process.
Erection of noise barriers
Noise barriers are up to 6 m in height and are made of a great variety of material
with diverse technologies. ALPINE can erect these as part of road construction projects
or subsequently integrate them in existing terrain. ALPINE offers a one-stop solution
provider for these works.
Own resources
Securing steep faces
An innovative technology is used in
‘Project Y’ and the mountain road
Trieben in securing steep faces.
Suitable geosynthetics are being used
between compacted layers of earth to
ensure a lasting stability these strongly
inclined rock faces.
ALPINE produces its own resources in its own plants and facilities in Austria and abroad.
Our own asphalt and concrete mixing plants partially further process these resources.
ALPINE‘s planning and quality control guarantees a high quality standard. These resources
guarantee independent supply for every project.
Construction of runways
ALPINE demonstrates its traditional top quality and flexibility in the construction of
runways and traffic areas on airports too. Even highly specialized tasks are solved through
a combination of know-how and innovations. Some of our references are the airport
Vienna-Schwechat (Austria) and the airport Podgorica (Montenegro).
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS // GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCED EARTH
A total of 25,000 m2 of steep faces
with a height of up to nine metres were
constructed in Trieben. It was the first
time that this special technology has
been used in Austria to this extent:
308,000 m2 of geosynthetic grids and
186,000 m3 of fill material. The dams’
foundation was constructed with
foundation plates and the faces were
secured with shotcrete.
ALPINE is a one-stop solution provider
A wide range of services is required in every road construction project. Diverse tasks must be executed and coordinated perfectly.
ALPINE performs all tasks as a one-stop solution provider. The company has the right experts and technologies from
road construction works to track constructions, bridges, tunnels and foundation engineering.
ALPINE is a leading turnkey supplier not only because of its ability to handle even the most complex tasks and its years of
experience but also because of its use of innovations like ‘geosynthetic reinforced earth’.
Planning, development
and financing
ALPINE is an internationally acting construction company. It not only
provides construction services but an extensive range of services in
project development, planning and financing.
PPP (Private Public Partnership) and BOT (Build, Operate and Transfer)
models increasingly gain importance. ALPINE offers its partners
interesting and economical turnkey solutions, covering the entire
value-added chain from development to utilization of a project.

Motorway A1 Poland
New development
Poland is the sixth largest county of
the European Union (measured by area
and population) and has engaged in an
ambitious infrastructure programme.
About 1,000 km of new motorways
are to be constructed by 2012 for the
European Soccer Championship hosted
with the Ukraine. ALPINE handles one
of the most southern sections with
18.33 km in length. It leads from the
village Świerklany south of Katowitz to

Mountain road B114 Trieben-Sunk BYPASS
The street B114 Triebener Strasse,
leading from the city of Trieben to
the city of Judenburg via the region
Hohentauern, is a topographically
difficult north-south axis and connects
the valleys Paltental and Liesingtal
in the north with the valley Murtal in
the south. Due to the costly maintenance
of the existing road on the
eastern slope of the Triebenbachtal
it was decided to build a new road on
the western slope. The ‘geosynthetic
reinforced earth’ system was used to
construct the extremely steep dams of
the new roadway. This contract comprises
additionally 2 bridges, retaining
walls as well as anchor and shotcrete
walls as slope securing and rock-face
sealing measures.
Erection of ‘flexible’ geosynthetic
reinforced dams to compensate up to 3 cm
of annual slope movement.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Dam construction with an angle of up to 60° in a terrain with up to 100% slope
Maximum dam height of 26.00 m
The phylitic rock is not weathering resistant thus additional securing with
shotcrete.
Total use of 15,000 t dry-mix material lateral receiver at a sea level of
1,300 m above the Adriatic Sea.
Transport of 190,000 m³ fill material on very tight space.

Motorway section Ningbo
Contract YJECC1
Ningbo is at the east coast in the
province of Zhejiang, ca. 350 km south
of Shanghai. In essence this 42.25 km
long motorway project serves to connect
the transit harbour Ningbo and
SPECIAL FEATURES
the industrial zones of the province
Zhejiang. From 2002 to 2010 Ningbo‘s
harbour will be developed into one of
the most important transit container
harbours.
ALPINE constructs a 4-lane motorway with a
total length of 42 km in the Shanghai-Ningbo
region – China’s new economic centre.
ALPINE performs these main tasks: Earthwork, soil conditioning measurements,
bridge constructions, underbridges, bored piles and tunnels.
The construction includes 53 bridges (7.2 km), 10 duct tunnels (7.3 km)
and 79 underbridges for pedestrian and tractors.
Additionally the construction includes all electric and mechanical facilities,
operational building and the entire control and toll system.

Airport Vienna-Schwechat
Extension of the north-eastern apron / Phase 2B
Phase 2B is one of many construction
stages at the airport Schwechat
executed by ALPINE that requires
uncommon expert knowledge.
The construction is designed in general
to high area and point loads and aeroplanes.
This construction section is in
the airport‘s so-called ‘Airside Zone’.
SPECIAL FEATURES
SEWER PIPES
A 3,000 m long ICAO compliant security
fence was constructed around the
construction site prior to beginning
of the actual construction. This made
the otherwise common passenger and
security checks unnecessary. It would
have been impossible to logistically
and timely manage the high number
of vehicles and suppliers – up to 350
persons and vehicles at the same time.
This type of construction with more than
2.10 m depth is very different from the usual
road construction.
These pipes have a diameter of 3 metres. Each pipe must be delivered with a heavygoods
vehicle. Each pipe weighs 20 tons - and has a wall thickness of 30 cm.
The construction period at the airport had to be kept as short as possible as it
restricted air traffic. A huge cubature had to be moved. Thus the concrete and
asphalt was manufactured directly at the airport.
