Projects and routing

In times of ever-increasing demands and at the same time shrinking financial resources, efficiency and effectiveness in handling railway projects are a must. This is ensured through the support from our specialist experts; they will provide support for specific tasks or, if necessary, take on a complete railway project for you.

Creating the right foundation with routing is a matter of experience

Correct routing is of great importance during the initial stage of a project. Small mistakes can lead to high additional costs because of corrections that have to be made as a result, and may even lead to the original target being missed. Due to the long-term experience our experts have with using Toporail routing software and our precise knowledge of the regulations, we can guarantee economical routing for our customers. This goes hand in hand with handling and answering questions about the structure gauge.

Avoid follow-up costs – have your project checked

If errors in routing are detected late, for example during the planning approval stage, considerable follow-up costs will be incurred. In the worst case, you will have to wind up your project! Avoid this by having us check the purchased or self-calculated routing. If you commission us to calculate your routing, we will ensure the validity of the results thanks to our dual control procedure.

Seamlessly welded track – stay in control of forces and deformations

The interactions between different elements of the track often prove critical for projects. We will support you at the interface between track, construction and the superstructure to ensure the track is sturdy and seamless. Thanks to our testing of the weldability of the tracks within a narrow radius as well as the calculation of the interaction between bridge and track, your planning will gain reliability. We will also help you eliminate unnecessary rail joints and rail expansion joints. This reduces maintenance costs in the long term without affecting operational safety.

Excellent and extensive network

Other audit or expert reports may be required as part of a planning approval application. With our experts’ many years of experience and know-how, we can ensure high-quality reports. Thanks to constant contact with the railways and the BAV, we always prepare these reports in line with the most up-to-date technology. This will ensure that your project is approved.

Running effective tendering processes

Work often has to be put out for tender nowadays. We will prepare the tender documents for your construction project, examine and evaluate bids, and offer advice on awarding contracts. Thanks to the many tenders we have handled, we know the critical points of technical specifications documents and can help you to define with clarity and write down your requirements. During the tendering process, we avoid complications thanks to the documents that we neatly prepare. Conclusion: You have the guarantee that once the project is awarded, thanks to our support, you will receive the equipment you need – and not just what the provider wants to sell you.
