The Himmelreich tunnel is located at the B73 and is on of five tunnels to be operated and maintained via the Central Control Room South.

It is a by-pass for the village of Hausmannstätten with a length of 1,4 km.

Besides the control system for the tunnel, the equipment for the Central Control Room South – owned by the styrian government - was the second challenge within this project.

Via this Central Control Room all southern styrian tunnels – except the highway tunnels - are operated and maintained, these are:

Tunnel Feldkirchen
Tunnel Grabengürtel B67A
Tunnel Gnas-Gniebing B68
Tunnel Voitsberg B70
Tunnel Himmelreich B73

which sums up to more than 25.000 data points to be integrated into one central control system – XAMControl.

One highlight of this project is the totally new operating concept that was realized. All equipment can be controlled via multi-touch operator stations, each equipped with 4 monitors.

This innovative approach leads to new approaches in operators interaction. All operator stations are realized using a hot-standby technology for realizing and securing high safety and perfect availability.
