Railway Track Systems

Ballast-less tracks with all their components have been a focus of our activities both in development and in detailed structural design as well as in construction for more than 20 years. In addition we are specialists for ballasted track systems, sleepers, rail fastening systems and specialized construction elements.

 

Trams and Underground Railways

Further important components of our scope of services apart from standard gauge railways are design, development and consulting for trams and underground railways. This comprises new routes, reconstruction and rehabilitation of existing routes. We both cover the development of standard solutions and project specific basic, approval, tender and detailed structural design. In addition we offer supervision and check of system components.

 

Vibration and Noise Protection

An essential activity of our office is the development, design and supervision of vibration protection measures (sub ballast mats, floating track slabs) and noise protection systems (absorber elements, noise protection walls) both for existing and for newly built railway lines.

 

Life-Cycle-Management

We work at the preparation of maintenance and service concepts for railway tracks as well as at risk analyses on the basis of our experience. In this context we deal with all components of railway structures (bridges, tunnels, signal and telecommunication facilities), not only with the track and its elements.

 

Railway Operation

Examination of the railway system regarding operational aspects in feasibility studies, route design and system management with the focuses operational and timetable concepts, potential studies on passenger and freight traffic including cost and revenue calculations (profitability analyses) but also consulting in terms of accessibility of infrastructures and vehicles as well as of new technologies and solutions in freight traffic.
