On the 1st of June, 2016, in presence of half a dozen heads of state and government, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) is officially opened. More than 2000 individuals from the army, police, federal government, Swiss Federal Railways, AlpTransit Gotthard (ATG) and private companies are in action during the festivities, to greet a public of thousands of passionate visitors and journalists from over 20 nations.

The Gotthard Base Tunnel consists of two 57-kilometers-long single-track tubes. Including all cross-passages, access tunnels and shafts, the total length of the tunnel system is over 152 km. It links the north portal at Erstfeld with the south portal at Bodio. With a rock overburden of up to 2300 meters, the Gotthard Base Tunnel is not only the world's longest, but also the world's deepest, railway tunnel constructed to date.

MEET Ltd congratulates all the parties that have been involved in this great accomplishment.

MEET proudly provided its small but nevertheless important contribution to the success of this undertaking, by equipping various concrete production plants involved in the tunnel construction with its Wavetester™ contactless moisture sensors and therefore ensuring an optimal product quality and reliability.
