Knowledge Exchange Among Various RSRG Departments.
In the constant effort to minimise the ecological footprint of their construction sites, RSRG has recently achieved significant progress. This is mainly due to the efficient, trustworthy cooperation within the group and with partners and clients.
The ultimate goal – the emission-free construction site – is coming closer with the introduction of advanced technologies and the exchange of knowhow within the Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group. The collaboration between the specialists at the Bregenz railway technology hall and the SHEQ department has proven particularly fruitful. Together, the two teams have enabled the use of the MH-36, a powerful 36KWh lead-gel battery that can be equipped with additional PV modules, on the group's construction sites. This battery is invaluable, especially where there is no power connection or in noise-sensitive areas. It not only makes Rhomberg Sersa more self-sufficient but also increases the efficiency of existing generators.
However, RSRG’s commitment does not stop there. The railway technology specialists have begun systematically replacing their gasoline-powered equipment with battery-powered devices to further reduce environmental impact. In collaboration with their Swiss colleagues, they have also ordered five portable battery storage units (Instagrid).
To reduce emissions from large equipment that is difficult to electrify, the team is currently testing the use of HVO biodiesel. In the testing rooms of the railway technology hall, the compatibility of the company's equipment with this environmentally friendly fuel is being examined in close coordination with suppliers.
