Rock stabilisation for Orava castle
Orava Castle in Oravský Podzámok is located on a steep cliff 112 metres above the river with the same name. The northern rock face had become unstable due to weathering and natural erosion. Basler & Hofmann Slovakia planned comprehensive rock stabilisation with protective nets and a dynamic rockfall barrier.
D3 motorway Oščadnica - Čadca, Bukov
The completion of the right lane of the D3 motorway on the approximately four-kilometer section between Oščadnica, Čadca, and Bukov will create a full-capacity motorway connection between the north-south axis of the TENT corridor. The project includes twelve bridge structures, the construction of a new tunnel tube, which is planned to be implemented while the existing half-lane of the D3 motorway remains in full operation, 22 retaining and retaining walls, and the demolition of 45 buildings. Basler & Hofmann Slovakia contributed to the project with its expertise in tunnel boring, road and bridge construction, geotechnical structures, and engineering networks.

Milochov tunnel
The railway line between Bratislava and Žilina is being modernised. In this context, the new Milochov railway tunnel is being built south of Považská Bystrica. The 1,861 metre long tunnel will be designed for a speed of 200 km/h.
SwissRe office building
As part of the "Campus Mythenquai" project, the Swiss insurance company Swiss Re will concentrate all employees in Switzerland in one location in Zurich by mid-2026. The existing building had to be demolished to make room for the new structure. Basler & Hofmann Switzerland and Slovakia designed a massive steel structure to secure and stabilize the construction pit.

„Fridolinsbrücke“: Tendering and execution from BIM model
The Fridolinsbrücke bridge crosses the Rhine between Stein (Switzerland) and Säckingen (Germany) and has an important function in connecting countries, especially for special transport. Basler & Hofmann Switzerland and Slovakia planned the renovation of the 244 metre-long bridge from the 1970s and was responsible for the construction management. The consistent tendering and execution using a digital model, Building Information Modeling (BIM), was a first for the repair of an infrastructure structure.

Bern railway station
Switzerland's second largest railway station is preparing for the future thanks to a major expansion. The public areas are being expanded without interrupting operations in crowded suburban conditions. The central element of the expansion is a new central access passage.

Extension of Harmincova Street in Bratislava
The approximately 670-metre-long section of road in the west of Bratislava connects important urban transport axes and provides access to residential, leisure and service areas. By widening the two-lane road to a four-lane link, the city has significantly improved safety, traffic capacity and the quality of life along the route. In addition to the main road, pavement, car parks and the traffic
infrastructure were also upgraded.
Retaining wall for the Poľana tunnel precuts
The Poľana Tunnel is part of the D3 motorway in a half-profile, connecting Žilina with Poland. For the tunnel precuts, several geotechnical measures were implemented.

Gabčíkovo hydropower plant: modernisation
Gabčíkovo is the most powerful hydropower plant in Slovakia and the central pillar of the countryʼs renewable energy supply. It is located on the section of the Danube between Bratislava and the Hungarian border. The project aims to extend the life of the power plant by at least 30 years. To achieve this goal, eight turbine-generator units and the associated technical equipment will be comprehensively modernised.

Chroobach wind farm
The Chroobach range of hills in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen was defined as a wind energy area in 2011. Four wind turbines are to be erected in the area. Basler & Hofmann Switzerland and Slovakia carried out a study to demonstrate the feasibility of the project, prepared the necessary clarifications of environmental law and reports, and planned the technical aspects of the turbines and their development.

In pioneering projects our employees contribute to the quality of life in our cities and communities, to a functioning infrastructure and the preservation of our environment. And we are always happy to welcome new colleagues who want to make a difference with their work.
