Close networking and good cooperation ensure success.
Once again, the BBW group demonstrated the perfect balance of commercial and mechanical track laying and contributed to the expansion of the regional line in the bavarian forest.
In this project, the BBW Group companies were commissioned by DB Netz AG (acting as executing company) for two construction sites.
The first construction scheme started in Deggendorf-Ulrichsberg. This contract was to screen the ballast and was carried out with the RM 80-92 UHR. After the new rails and sleepers had been laid, the 09-3X tamping machine established the final track position. Both machines were provided by JumboTec, one of RSRG’s mechanical track laying specialists. The commercial track laying part of BBW group carried out the extensive related works.
A logistical challenge was the location of the construction project, namely a wooded area that was difficult to access and only allowed limited access to the track. A logistics concept specially created by the BBW team ensured that the construction site ran smoothly.
The second construction project, Zwiesel–Bodenmais, was divided into two parts. The tracks between Zwiesel and Bodenmais were replaced and several points at Zwiesel railway station were renewed. The project also included extensive cess work. This was necessary as a large part of the track ran on embankments up to eight metres high and the cess works prevented the ballast from slipping.
