Modular textile-reinforced concrete system for rail platform refurbishment

Installation of Modula Flex slabs as a supplementary system enabled alignment of the distance of the conventional platform edge to the new track gradient

The entire slab system was prefabricated at the precast plant, complete with the specified surface texture, and delivered to the Erlangen job site just in time

Adding supplementary Modula Flex slabs also made it possible to retrofit a guidance system for the blind and hatched danger-zone markings within an extremely short construction period whereas the remainder of the platform pavement was installed in a conventional process

About 5,400 railway stations are currently in service in Germany. Following a range of activities in the last few years to comprehensively refurbish centrally located stations in major cities, Deutsche Bahn is now investing more significant amounts in revamping small and medium-sized stations and stops. Hering Bau, a precast producer based in Burbach, Germany, has developed yet another innovative, modular system made from textile-reinforced concrete that is perfectly suitable for refurbishing platform pavements or raising their level to make entry into trains more convenient for passengers.
