As part of the expansion of the Ritom Hydropower Plant, which supplies electricity to the Gotthard railway line and the Canton of Ticino, we installed new segments of the pressure pipeline. This underground pipeline stretches over 2 km to Lago Ritom, located 800 meters higher. The work was carried out within the mountain to enhance the efficiency of power supply.

We were responsible for installing the lowest new segments of the pressure pipeline as part of the plant's upgrade.
