A technological miracle in the mountain.

For the cavern construction, 200,000 m3 of solid material were extracted from Mt. Tobl, for which the plant was also named. The construction required 740 km of drilling and 220 tonnes of explosive agent. The underground galleries' cross section is twice as big as an underground motorway tunnel's cross section. The total sewage line, the ventilation system centre, as well as the dosing apparatuses are installed in the galleries. Also the digestion tower, with exception of the gas area, is built into the rock. Only the remaining sludge line, the entire gas line and the drying plant are located in the above-ground plant building.
