BBW is regarded as one of the leading railway construction companies in the Austrian market.
Bahnbau Wels/AUT
A modern fleet boosts quality and flexibility
For more than 60 years now, Bahnbau Wels GmbH has been a renowned construction company in the Austrian railways
market. Thanks to the high quality and flexibility offered by a state-of-the-art fleet, BBW has evolved into a leading player
in the industry. Numerous domestic and international projects underline the commitment and dedication of the company’s
employees.
In order to remain in this position and
maintain the required high standards,
the company has invested in two new
track construction machines, which
will be delivered in the spring of 2010
by Plasser & Theurer. The vehicles
in question are an additional Unimat
09-32/4S Dynamic and a USP 2010
SWS. Both machines represent the
state-of-the-art in their respective
fields.
The Unimat 09-32/4S Dynamic
guarantees a quick changeover from
continuous track packing to points
packing, which can also be done continuously.
Here, “continuous” means
that the movable unit frame allows the
packing machine to work on the track
and points without stopping its movement
along the track. Another important
factor is the integrated dynamic
track stabilizer, which is used in the
same step to ensure lasting quality of
the track position.
The modern track refurbishing train is
completed by the ballast distribution
and levelling machine of type USP
2010 SWS. Once the track or points
have been packed, the required track
bed cross-section is produced. Excess
ballast can be stored in the ballast silo,
which has a capacity of 10 m 3 , where
it is then ready to be reused in places
where there is not enough ballast.
One of the key advantages of the levelling
machine, USP 2010 SWS is that
it offers a very high degree of flexibility
on tracks and points whilst remaining
sufficiently compact. Thanks to modern
additional equipment, such as the
swivel limitation or the dust depositing
system, both the safety and comfort
of nearby residents and the operating
personnel are accommodated.
