Renewal of the elevated railway line U1 with slab track, highly elastic rail fastenings on steel girders over a length of 1.5 km

In the extremely short renovation and installation time of four months, Eiffage Rail renewed the track systems with the slab track system on Delta bearings. Highly elastic rail fastenings were installed for the elevated railway, which were supplemented with fixed point constructions. Sections of slab track were available from test phases, which were connected to the new parts.
