Highest reliability with the RailPipe® system

With RailPipe and RailControl, FRÄNKISCHE has developed the ideal complete system for all requirements of railway track drainage. The pipe and shaft with EBA certification boast the highest quality standards and satisfy all requirements in terms of long-term exposure to stress, static capacity and safety.

The RailControl flushing and inspection shaft (now with EBA certification) specifically designed for railway traffic requirements is the ideal addition to the practice-proven RailPipe drainage pipe. Both components have been ideally matched and form a

homogeneous and economical overall system providing highest functional reliability for planning engineers, users and builders.

RailPipe and RailControl meet all technical requirements of DBS 918064 and feature HPQ manufacturer-related product qualification. With the EBA-approved RailControl, the complete system is the first structured-wall pipe system to be certified for installation in the internal pressure range by the Federal Railway Authority (Eisenbahn-Bundesamt, EBA).
