Main Station, Dortmund
Extension of the main railway station in Dortmund |
Situation |
With around 600 arrivals and departures per day and around 130,000 travellers, the main station is the 14th busiest long-distance railway station operated by Deutsche Bahn. The modernisation of the station is planned until 2024. | As part of the expansion of Dortmund's main station, water pressure tight cable ducts with up to 44 pipe connections were required. But, the cable ducts were not allowed to exceed a certain weight as no crane could be used in this area. The cable ducts had to be installed between the platforms and also integrated into the base plate. |
