Maximum lateral stability
The solid ribs on the side walls ensure maximum stability.
+
Prevents shifting at the transition
With the tongue-and-groove system, the troughs are installed from top to bottom. This helps avoid any sideways shifting and prevents grit from entering the cavity.
The benefits at a glance
The benefits at a glance:
- Lightweight yet stable component
- Environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable
- Quicker installation (manual installation possible) – less track obstruction time
- High dimensional accuracy and straightness with the tongue-and-groove system and trough installation from above
- The BG-RAIL FILCOTEN cable trough is lighter, narrower and more compact than conventional troughs. The easier and faster creation of mitre cuts saves time when diverting the run around pylons.
+
Trench belt
A trench belt can be deployed when needed and ensures a proper fit of the cover.
+
Smooth surface
The smooth internal surface of the BG-RAIL FILCOTEN cable trough makes it easier to pull in the cable strands.
+
Recess edge – outer edge of the trough
The upper edge serves as a guide to level the backfill material when creating paths.
+
Verified LCA (life cycle assessment)
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Manufactured with 100% green power
- Resource-efficient manufacturing process
+
Cable trough cover
The cable trough cover protects cables from damage and harsh weather. All cable trough covers are produced with or without fibre reinforcement.
+
Anchoring pockets
The innovative FILCOTEN HPC production and moulding technology made it possible to design anchoring pockets for a concrete trough body to ensure an even better hold in the ballast bed.
