In an extremely demanding construction project in the Swiss Alps, at an altitude of around 1700 metres and almost 600 metres inside a mountain, large chambers are being excavated to form the new expanded underground centre of a pumped storage hydroelectric power station that will increase its present power output from 480 MW to 1480 MW. With an extreme incline of 45 degrees and a height difference of approximately 180 m, conveyor systems in a sub-station are transporting 500 t of excavated material per hour, around the clock, using conveyor belts that are driven by NORD industrial gear units.

The works of Beckett and Brecht, Mozart and Wagner, and of course Goethe and Shakespeare are all performed on the stage of Theater Duisburg. After decades or even centuries, these plays, concerts and operas continue to fascinate the audience. The drive technology for the stage, however, had seen better days and therefore, the theater had new electrical equipment for backstage technology installed during the 2010/2011 season.
