8-lane extension of the A1, northern section, south of the HH-Südost junction (A1/A25) to the north of the Süderelbe junction (A1/A26)

The existing Norderelbe Bridge has been used to cross the Federal Highway 1 over the Norderelbe since 1963. It is a suspension bridge with a superstructure for both directions of traffic. Currently, traffic is led across the Norderelbe on three lanes per direction (without hard shoulder). The structure shows various damages and has a very limited service life according to the recalculation carried out in 2016. Due to this condition and the eight-lane expansion according to the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030, a new replacement structure with an adapted cross-section of this bridge is planned.

In this project workshops will be conducted to identify and analyze the relevant risks. Thereafter, the scheduling impact of the risks is analyzed probabilistically in a construction time model.

Multifaceted consulting services for Munich’s 2nd core S-Bahn route

In order to decongest the existing core line, a second core route is being built over a distance of about ten kilometres between the stations Laim in the west and Leuchtenbergring (picture) in the east. The centrepiece is a seven-kilometre tunnel connecting the main station and the eastern hub Ostbahnhof. 

RiskConsult is consulting the project with a diverse package of services. A first pillar is the area of risk management, in which a digital twin for costs, schedule and risks is set up using probabilistic methods. This includes conducting workshops to identify and analyze the relevant risks. A second pillar is the review of the cost calculation for individual construction sections of the overall project.

A 44, 6-Lane widening AK Kassel-West - AD Kassel-Süd - Risk Analysis

The current demand plan for the federal highways shows the six-lane extension of the A 44 in the section between the Kassel-West interchange and the Kassel-South interchange (AD) as a priority. In addition, there is the necessary renewal of the Bergshäuser Bridge due to its technically given remaining useful life. The Federal Ministry of Transportation and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) has now confirmed the southern relocation of the route proposed by DEGES in coordination with the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Housing in the area of the Bergshausen district with a total length of the planning section of around 5.2 kilometers as the preferred option.

Rhine Bridge Duisburg - Risk Management

The A 40 motorway connects the Ruhr area to the Lower Rhine and is therefore of great importance to the region. The Rhine bridge Duisburg-Neuenkamp was built in 1970, today it reaches the limits of its resilience. The expansion of the A 40 motorway and the construction of a more efficient bridge, replacing the old bridge, are essential to ensure that traffic flows safely over the coming decades.

Workshop facilitation for risk identification and analysis. Project cost risks and schedule risks were analyzed in an integrated probabilistic cost and schedule risk model with risk software RIAAT.

Cost and risk management for the partial expansion of the ÖBB Unterinntalbahn 

As part of the new Unterinntal Railway and the Brenner North Access, the approximately 19 km long track between Schaftenau and Kundl will be expanded to four tracks. Part of the line runs in an almost ten-kilometer-long tunnel along the southern Angerberg, crossing under the Inn, the A12 and the Citycenter of Kundl.

RiskConsult will use its worldwide experience and instruments from cost and risk management and will provide technical support for the probabilistic risk analysis of the expansion of the new Unterinn Railway.

RiskConsult supports the ÖBB with processes, workshops and own tools and thus makes an important contribution to the cost and time planning during the project implementation.

New York Subway: Canarsie Tunnel Risk Analysis Execution Phase

Flooding caused by Superstorm Sandy inundated the Canarsie Tunnel with seven million gallons of salt water. The L train carries 225,000 customers through the Canarsie tubes on an average weekday and is the main transit route between Manhattan and the Williamsburg and Bushwick sections of Brooklyn. The rehabilitation includes upgrading of the Canarsie Tunnel facilities from 1st Avenue Station in Manhattan to Bedford Avenue Station in Brooklyn and three substations. The tunnel consists of two under-river tubes with one track each, located below the East River.

The risk assessment is intended to identify and quantify which work items and issues may potentially affect for the project. It also considers potential mitigation efforts to reduce the larger risk items and quantify the potential reduction in risk that can be achieved through risk mitigation.

A13 Brenner Highway, Reconstruction Lueg Bridge - Comparison of Alternatives

The Lueg bridge is one of the most complicated structures of the Brenner highway. The life cycle of the existing bridge will end soon, thus, it will be replaced by a new bridge. The variant decision is supported by an integrated cost schedule analysis. Construction (base cost, risk, schedule) and life cycle cost are modeled using probabilistic methods, cost and schedule are interlinked to account for time dependent cost and cost due to schedule risks. Life cycle costs are assessed using the net present value method with a probabilistic approach to account for uncertainties and sensitivity.
