Switch Replacement at Offenburg

Client: Deutsche Bahn AG
Branch: Karlsruhe
Period: 27 May - 29 July 2016

After the admission had been granted, the new machine equipment of BGM GmbH was used for the first time directly at the tracks.

Two EM-T 100 vehicles were applied throughout the complete construction project. One of them, used as end car, was equipped with the loading funnel and the shortened bypass belt (BB). The other E-MT 100 served as intermediate car with continuous bypass belt (BB).

The construction project included the replacement of 1248m track ballasting (conventionally), the provision of 1621m shunting way, as well as the improvement of 172m of the planum.

The operability and reliability as well as the young operator team had to stand the test under the hard working conditions and the tight deadlines set.

After the successful completion of these construction projects, further applications can be carried out by the operators immediately now.

The owner intends to offer the renting of the vehicles.
