Research on a 1:1 scale
With the Zentrum am Berg on the Styrian Erzberg, the Montan University Leoben operates a Europe-wide unique and independent research infrastructure for the construction and operation of underground facilities. Research institutions, companies and organizations can carry out research, tests and exercises under real conditions for operators and users of road and railway infrastructures as well as on aerodynamic issues, on safety in underground construction and operation and on material developments.
The facility includes two parallel road tunnels and two parallel railway tunnels with a length of 400 m each. These tunnels are connected to one another by cross passages and galleries. In total, the entire gallery system covers a length of 2 km.
