Foundation Construction Train

New and special civil-engineering technology for railway construction

Highest track availability and short shut-down times, challenging geographies and confined spaces demand know-how, experience and high-performance as well as approved special civil-engineering technology for railway construction.

The global market leader in railway cranes, Kirow Ardelt, together with RTG Rammtechnik (a specialist in vibration, piling, and pressing works from the BAUER Maschinen Group), has developed the high-performance track foundation train for HERING and the rail market. With its special rigging procedures, tool logistics, high foundation performance, quality, and speed, this rail-mounted carrier adapts special foundation engineering methods to railway applications. It ensures the safe, cost-effective, and project-specific implementation of your requirements.

Track foundations with equipment by HERING

Vibration-free drilling of holes with diameters of up to 1350 mm
MR 105 V (SilentVibro) vibrator for the high-frequency vibrating of sheet-piling profiles of lengths of up to 15 metres
HRS 5 hydraulic hammer for pile driving lengths of up to 12,20 metres
MPU 660 sheet-piling press or MPZ for pressing sheet pilings, Z-profiles, U-profiles and light profiles of up to 15 metres in length

Foundation Construction Train: The Revolution!
