Laser Welded Structures Save Money in Tunnel Construction

    WELS, AUSTRIA, February 23, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Modern tunnel construction is indispensable for the expansion of our transport infrastructure, especially in densely populated areas or in mountains. Collectively, all tunnel construction is the interplay of the latest technology in various fields and the extremely high quality and safety requirements for construction and building.

The latest laser welding technology and expertise save costs

"Contributing to forward-looking projects is always a particular pleasure and challenge for us," says Ing. Reinhard Aumayr, managing director of LASER & more. "We can fully exhibit our experience and expertise here."

The Wels-based company has successfully produced and developed in the laser welding technology sector for 14 years. In addition to the efficient and perfect execution of orders with laser welding systems from the company Trumpf, the optimisation of the customer's designs is the most important factor for success. "We analyse the structure in terms of potential for material savings and then revise it with our special CAD programmes," says Aumayr. "The result is usually structures that are reduced in material and weight and therefore are more cost-efficient".

Experience and innovation in tunnel outfitting

Structures from LASER & more are already tried and tested in tunnel construction: for example, 1,800 stainless steel brackets were manufactured for tunnel pipes for the Felbertauern Tunnel in Austria, which resulted in a 60% weight reduction in the customer's structure. With high-grade stainless steel, which is used in tunnel construction due to the special requirements for corrosion resistance, this translates into a significant cost reduction.

As a supplier for tunnel construction, LASER & more also already manufactures laser welding structures such as supports, piping systems, brackets or stainless steel housing for electrical components.

LASER & more Edelstahl Komponentenfertigungsges.m.b.H, an Austrian metal processing company headquartered in Wels, specialises in stainless steel and aluminium processing. They offer metal processing technologies, such as laser cutting, laser welding, TIG-MIG/MAG welding, 3D design of sheet metal parts and surface finishing for industry, tunnel construction as well as for architecture and design projects. The contract manufacturing of individual components, but also the series production of components made of stainless steel and aluminium represent an important sector for LASER & more.
