Bodan

THE PERFECT CONNECTION BETWEEN ROAD AND RAIL

BODAN is a modular track covering system made from polymer concrete. The frameless panels are laid like a bridge between the tracks and transfer the traffic loads from the road via the rail sleeper grid into the ballast bed.
This optimally combines the different requirements of rail traffic (elastic roadway) and road traffic and ensures a quiet and smooth crossing.

The applications

SUITABLE FOR ALL RAIL SHAPES (single & multi-track crossings)

  • crossings with Y-sleepers
  • crossings in the switch area
  • Rail access points for two-way vehicles
  • crossings with drainage elements
  • Trams, subways, commuter trains
  • Terminals
  • Service routes
  • Adaptations to country-specific requirements

Different rubber profiles are used for the respective rail shape. These rubber profiles were specially developed for the elastic support of rails. They offer extremely high durability and ensure the maximum electrical resistance of the track insulation.
