De-railing protection has been installed on various sections of the High Speed Line route. If the train de-rails, the de-railing protection must prevent the de-railed train from ending up on the adjacent track. This protection consists of a concrete kerb that runs between and parallel to the rails. The concrete kerb is 17 cm. high and 50 cm. wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reinforcing bar chosen was a diameter of 12 mm in strength class FEB 500. This reinforcing bar was installed at a depth of 150 mm. As this reinforcing bar could not be installed as a cast-in provision, the decision was made to use a post-installed reinforcing bar bonded with HaC hammer capsules<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To guarantee a total filling of the bore hole at the chosen setting depth, B+BTec developed a special pattern on very short notice with the correct composition and volume. During subsequent tests, the load values set by the client were effortlessly achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The required weekly production and supply of 25,000 special hammer capsules also posed no problem. In total, over 400,000 capsule were supplied for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
