Challenge: Bored Piles in the Platform Area
The particular challenge was the location of the drilling points: The piles had to be constructed in the area of the central platform. Using conventional technology, the work would have been difficult to access. Parts of the platforms would have had to be dismantled first to reach the drilling points.
Solution: Foundation Work Directly from the Track
This is where the Foundation Construction Train demonstrated its strengths: The foundation work could be carried out directly from the track. This allowed the four bored piles to be constructed precisely without the need to create additional access routes via the platforms.
The operation in Haan-Gruiten thus demonstrates the capabilities of the Foundation Construction Train for special foundation works in hard-to-access areas of railway infrastructure.
