Sidings

An effective way to reduce CO2 emissions in logistics

Sidings are a sought-after commodity in the context of climate change. More companies are once again connected to the rail network. The safe and reliable operation of sidings requires administrative work beforehand that should not be underestimated. The companies that own the sidings and the infrastructure management companies regulate their relations in a written agreement. In accordance with the new freight transport regulation, you must also draw up operating rules and regulations as a sidings operator. Our experts will prepare these on your behalf, while adhering to the motto “as much as necessary, as little as possible” to ensure lean and efficient operation. If you are audited by the BAV, our experts will be happy to advise you.

Independence as an important commodity

As the sidings owner, you are obliged to ensure the safety of the sidings throughout its life cycle. We can carry out regular checks of the track, overhead cable and safety systems and draw up the corresponding status reports – regardless of the construction company. In this way, you will be able to identify potential problems early on and act proactively. If you wish, we can also plan and organise maintenance.

Help with demanding decisions

When a sidings reaches the end of its life, the decision will have to be made whether to renovate or rebuild it. We have drawn up decision-making criteria, which, thanks to our experience, are characterised by foresight and neutrality. Following your decision, we will plan and support the implementation of the project until the federal government subsidies are received.
