Construction work begins for the deep borehole in Bülach


Construction of the drill site in Bülach has begun. Actual drilling work will follow at the beginning of 2019.

The building site equipment has started up in Herrenwis in Bülach: the drill site, where the drilling rig will later stand, has been under construction since 8th October. The first step is to remove the soil and the drill site and cellar are then constructed. Actual drilling activities will begin at the start of 2019. Nagra has taken measures to ensure that emissions are as low as possible. For example, the drilling rig will be electrically operated and therefore relatively quiet. A free hotline for questions from the public was set up at the beginning of October: 0800 437 333.
