Jackcontrol AG, Switzerland

The Jackcontrol AG company has been developing and marketing systems for optimisation and quality assurance of trenchless construction methods microtunneling and underground pipe jacking since 2004. Over 200km of successfully constructed tunnel worldwide documents the capability and innovative strength of Jackontrol's product portfolio.

At every phase of a project, the Jackcontrol AG company sees itself as a competent, reliable partner for both client and construction company performing the work. Person-to-person consultancy, active assistance and unrestricted commitment of all Jackcontrol staff – be they project engineers on site or software developers at their desks – have top priority in our corporate philosophy and are evidenced every day.

With the new microtunneling software MSS (Microtunneling Support System), all information and data available on a tunnelling construction site are combined in one software and new applications are created from them.

Curved Microtunnel
In the process if needed we think new ways and where possible try to make use of existing technical knowledge and experience – if necessary also from completely different technical areas.

Our entire company history is characterised by the development of new products and applications, and accordingly we like to tackle new developments with the necessary portion of courage, innovation and respect.


Design and consulting
WE ARE MORE VERSATILE THAN YOU MIGHT THINK

With our well-trained and experienced team of engineers, designers, draughtsmen and other technical experts, we cover a wide range of disciplines interactively.

Firm's History

The Jackcontrol AG company was founded in 2004 as a spin-off subsidiary of Zurich Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Switzerland. It was intended to put into practice current findings in relation to the loadbearing behaviour of reinforced-concrete jacking pipes from the dissertation of Dr. Stefan Trümpi-Althaus. In 2005 we were able to fulfil initial orders for the City of Zurich with the overall Jackcontrol® service package and the Hydraulic Joint, followed by orders further south in Switzerland. We managed to further-enhance the system and crucially broaden the range of application on the basis of initial practical experience gained. We clinched our first order outside Switzerland in 2007, and we have completed over 450 jacking projects to date worldwide. In 2009, we set up the company's own joint test bed in the Buchholz/Glarus workshop, and it was used, amongst other things, to develop the JCPipe® algorithm introduced in 2009. We moved our office to new, state-of-the-art office premises on Buchholzstrasse in Glarus, directly annexed to the existing workshop on the site in 2010. The offices were already extended by a further story in 2015.
