Replacement measures in the field of construction & infrastructure
Why are replacement measures necessary? In Switzerland, all major construction projects must undergo an environmental impact assessment prior to approval. Among other things, this assesses whether sensitive vegetation types or rare animals are affected by the construction. In its construction projects, Jungfrau Railways places the greatest importance on nature and the surrounding areas. If there is any impairment, however, appropriate «replacement measures» are provided in the immediate vicinity as compensation.
