Numerous onlookers followed the work of replacing the 60-year-old beaver bridge in Biberbrugg from September 30 to October 2. Toneatti AG, together with subcontractors such as EMIL EGGER, carried out the long-planned work. After dismantling the old bridge, the new one, 17 m long and weighing 240 tons, was then set with millimeter precision.

Several cranes from the EMIL EGGER fleet were deployed in the Engadine to ensure smooth assembly: an 80-ton crane, a 100-ton pneu crane and, in some cases, a 250-ton mobile crane with a hook height of over 90 meters.

Tadano AC 7.450-1 mobile crane in operation on a high-rise construction site in Dübendorf. Due to the confined space, a compactly built crane with enormous lifting height was required, which can erect construction cranes up to 100 m.

On Sunday, July 17, 2022, a train of the Appenzeller Bahnen derailed in Wasserauen after colliding with a car. To help the railcar back onto the tracks, EMIL EGGER was quickly on the scene with two mobile cranes.

The wood used for the construction of the tower comes directly from the hardwood forest. Approximately 310 cubic meters of wood were processed. The whole tower weighs a total of 190 tons. The challenge of stacking the weighty and large prefabricated elements of 42 tons each on top of each other was solved by means of crane work by EMIL EGGER AG. The modules were mounted on top of each other in three lifts up to a height of 42 m by means of a 450-tonne pneumatic crane.
