AT A GLANCE

The installation in Loucna was the first installation of STRAILway polymer sleepers in the Czech Republic.

The client was the construction company SART, which had already installed the first pontiSTRAIL level crossing in the Czech Republic. KRAIBURG STRAIL and VITESSE have a close and long-standing working relationship.

The replacement of the old wooden turnout sleepers with the new STRAILway polymer sleepers went smoothly. The client was delighted with how pleasant and convenient it is to install STRAILway polymer sleepers.

The management of the Czech and Slovakian Railways, the public utility company and the turnout manufacturer were also very satisfied with the visual appearance and the uncomplicated installation.
