Linth-Limmern pumped-storage plant
Linthal, Switzerland
Kraftwerke Linth-Limmern AG (KLL) has expanded its existing hydropower station with the construc€tion of an underground pumped-storage plant between the Limmern and Muttsee lakes. Marti played a leading role in the project during the construction period from 2009 to 2016. One particular challenge was the high alpine construction site, which was only accessible via construction ropeways and required certain logistical feats.
