AT A GLANCE

The operator of Sneltram (city railway) around Utrecht, Bestuurs Regio Utrecht (BRU), needed a new workshop and a siding area for new vehicles.

Due to the long-standing and good cooperation with KRAIBURG STRAIL and Nedstrail, as well as the high-quality products from STRAIL, BRU decided to work together again. The level crossing system innoSTRAIL and specially designed connection plates from STRAIL were used.

The level crossing panels were directly connected to the hall and run in a tight radius. The connecting plates ensure a seamless transition between the level crossing and the hall. The plates were anchored directly into the concrete hall floor with heavy-duty dowels. This allowed the inner and outer panels to be bolted to the hall floor.

The installation of the level crossing plates started at the connecting plate and not, as usual, in the middle of the level crossing.
