Description
English: Looking south in the eastern tube of the Gotthard Base Tunnel at Multi-Function Station Faido, Canton Ticino, Switzerland. The tunnel boring machine coming from Bodio made its breakthrough here Sept. 6 2006 under jubilation of a crowd of 2000 VIP, guests and workers after excavating 13.5 km since 2002.
Photo taken on an open doors day. Temperature is 28°C (would be around 40°C without cooling), humidity is 100% or above (almost steamy climate)
Once completed the 2 km long MFS Faido will be a multi-purpose station 2000 meters below ground level for maintenance and emergency evacuation purposes accessible through a 2.7 km long tunnel with a gradient of more than 12%. The entrance of the access tunnel is in Polmengo TI close to the village of Faido.
Français : Vue vers le sud dans le tube est du tunnel de base du St. Gothard au niveau de la gare à plusieurs fonctions de Faido, Canton du Tessin, Suisse. Le tunnelier, en provenance de Bodia, a fait sa percée ici le 6 septembre 2006 en présence de deux milliers de convives de marque, invités et travailleurs après les 13,5 kilomètres creusés depuis 2002. Ce cliché a été pris à l'occasion d'une journée portes ouvertes. La température de l'air est 28°C (et atteindrait 40°C sans refroidissement) alors que son humidité peut dépasser 100%. Achevée, la gare de Faido, à 2000m au-dessous de la surface, servira à l'entretien et, en cas d'urgence, à l'évacuation. Elle est accésible par moyen d'une percée longue de 2.7km avec une pente de plus de 12%. L'entrée à cette percée d'accès se trouve à Polmengo TI, près du village de Faido.
