St. Gotthard Railway Tunnel, Switzerland
In the construction of the world’s longest railway tunnel at St. Gotthard in Switzerland, Rexroth transmissions ensure that the four high-power moles make swift progress. Every day four Herrenknecht tunnel drilling machines are excavating 43 meters of a total distance of 153.5 kilometers, through what is, in parts, solid rock.

Three Gorges Dam, China
The Three-Gorges Dam across the Jangtze River is generating 88,700 gigawatts of electricity every hour, reducing CO2 emissions by 100 million tons. This makes it the largest hydraulic engineering project in the world. The water surface area of the reservoir is twice that of Lake Constance. Rexroth has automated more than 200 locks worldwide and is able to boast a unique know-how in this sector.
