The use of Trimble instruments in the construction of major Swiss tunnel

Constructed below the St. Gotthard Pass in the Swiss Alps, the Gotthard Road Tunnel runs 16.9km (10.5 miles) between the Italian and German sides of Switzerland. The 10-year construction of the tunnel was completed in 1980, and it has since endured the wear and tear expected for a well-travelled route.
