As urban rail networks continue to expand, environmental considerations are becoming increasingly important. In Slovakia, our STRAILastic Green Track system was successfully installed over a distance of 4.8 kilometers. The project demonstrates how modern rail infrastructure can enhance the urban microclimate while meeting the highest technical standards for stray current insulation, ventilation, and noise mitigation.

Following an urgent refurbishment in Ibbenbüren, the Glücksburger Straße level crossing now ensures maximum safety for everyone thanks to the new track alignment.

On the busy Water Tower Bridge in Luxembourg City, the combination of car and tram traffic poses a particular challgenge. Find out how the inno level crossing panels enable emergency access thanks to custom cutting and the integration of a derailment protection groove, while at the same time guaranteeing maximum safety in the event of a tram derailment.

A successful track refurbishment in Ulm: Our STRAILastic_TOR_simplex was seamlessly installed despite an 8 % descending gradient, a curve, and an underpass. A testament to maximum flexibility and performance under the toughest conditions.

Two level crossings in direct succession on the busy national road in Tecuci, Romania, represented a critical traffic junction. Find out how we installed a durable and modern solution in collaboration with track renewal. Despite challenging local conditions, the installation was completed in just two days.

Along the double-track coastal line in Bonassola (Cinque Terre), the rail operator was seeking a compact and visually appealing noise protection solution for the bridge sections. Thanks to the quick installation of the infill panels and their customized concrete-look design, rail noise was effectively reduced while the panels blend perfectly into the historic coastal landscape.

As part of the €70 million refurbishment of the Livron–Aspres line, SNCF Réseau faced an environmental challenge: the ‘Pont Bleu’ spans a strictly protected nature reserve. The solution for maximum water protection and technical precision were STRAILway polymer sleepers.

The first installation of STRAILway polymer sleepers in the Czech Republic took place in Loucna. This project involved replacing old wooden turnout sleepers. The quick, uncomplicated installation of the polymer sleepers and their attractive, high-quality design impressed the client and the railroad and public utility managers involved.

Building on their successful experience since 2020, Hungary’s GYSEV ZRt. once again turned to STRAILway for the refurbishment of the Répcelak tidal channel bridge. In May 2023, aging wooden bridge sleepers were replaced with the durable, modern polymer solution.

Extreme loads of 15 million gross tons per year and maintenance-intensive wooden sleepers posed major challenges for the plant railway at Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH. The solution: the all-inclusive, worry-free STRAILway polymer sleeper package – in service since 2018 and still in outstanding condition.

In South Tyrol, a section of track in Renon was modernized. The project relied on inno for safe level crossings and the innovative STRAILway 30 sleepers for efficient on-site installation.

Massive container cranes require large recesses in the quay to move along their rails. At the Port of Antwerp, these gaps—up to 55 cm deep—posed a significant obstacle and a safety risk for other traffic. Discover how the STRAIL system profil safely bridges the gap, optimizes logistics, and ensures the safety of all vehicles and personnel.

The reactivation of the Ammertalbahn presented the operator with the challenge of effectively protecting residents in densely populated areas from rail noise—without impacting the surrounding landscape. Discover how the compact and flexible design of the mSW 360 delivered the ideal, discreet solution thanks to its low installation height and technical versatility.

During the refurbishment of Munich’s Tram Line 25, Stadtwerke München installed 1,880 meters of green track. Discover how the STRAILastic_R profile not only met the stringent requirements for stray current insulation, but also, thanks to its quick and easy installation, helped the project reach completion ahead of schedule.

The deteriorated level crossing on Strand Road in Preston posed a safety risk—especially for the many cyclists. Discover how Ribble Rail used the velo system to make the crossing both safe and accessible, and how the 72-meter-long crossing was completed in just five hours thanks to the system’s rapid installation.

Across the Milan Metro network, 24 pede level crossings with a flame-retardant rubber surface have been installed. These specially engineered crossings serve as essential emergency evacuation routes for passengers, significantly enhancing overall safety. Find out how our solution not only improves safety but also simplifies track maintenance.

Effective protection against unauthorized access to the track area: At the busy Ulzburg Süd station in Schleswig-Holstein, it only took 3.5 hours to install grid over a 30 m² area. The rubber panels enhance safety and convinced AKN Eisenbahn GmbH of its effectiveness.

In the rain-prone province of Limburg (Netherlands), the combination of the pede level crossing system and the STRAIL drainage kerbstone ensures efficient drainage and improved accessibility at the station.

To ensure optimal safety and comfort for passengers at the 15 stops of Florence’s Tram Line 1, the gaps between the platforms and the trams needed to be closed. KRAIBURG STRAIL’s flexible and durable edge system provided the perfect solution: it acts as a sturdy cushion while bridging the gap, significantly enhancing boarding safety.

How do you protect a new residential area from railway noise without blocking the view?
In Bispingen, Germany, the first pilot installation of the mSW 1250 — combined with our rail web dampers — demonstrated that highly effective noise protection is achievable even at a height of just 1.25 m

The innovative and sustainable pedeSOLAR system provides self-contained, solar-powered lighting.
It delivers clear, additional guidance for cyclists and pedestrians, particularly in school zones in Kaltenkirchen South, Germany. By harnessing solar energy, it helps minimize accident risk in low-light conditions and sustainably enhances traffic safety in an environmentally friendly way.

The increasingly tight track possession times in modern track construction require solutions that are not only robust, but above all quick to install. For this project, the choice fell on the efficient combination of the inno system, which is independent of sleeper spacing, and the B kerbstone, which requires no foundation. It took a team of four just three hours to install the entire 5.4-meter-long level crossing. Thanks to the B kerbstone’s foundation-free design, the track could be reopened to traffic immediately after installation.
