AT A GLANCE

GYSEV ZRt. has been successfully using STRAILway bridge beams since 2020. This is why STRAILway was chosen again for the next
refurbishment project – the repair of the railway bridge over the Répcelak tidal canal.

In May 2023, the old wooden bridge beams were replaced with new, modern STRAILway bridge beams and part of the tracks and the
level crossing on the two flood protection embankments were demolished and rebuilt.

The installation went smoothly.
