Competence in High-speed
Speed, reliability and comfort are international conditions for the attractiveness and economic viability of railways and tracks. High-speed trains travel up to 350 km/h on modern tracks. They are the future railways.
With its creative spirit of innovation, superb engineering, diligent development and planning for the future, BWG has notable contributions to these advances.
Our Turnout System Technology offers highest level of safety, reliability, availability and adaptability. Customized solutions offer the key to optimal project realization. Our Proven System has demonstrated our competence.
BWG offers its comprehensive System Partnership to every project. This includes every step from initial planning up to the maintenance of the tracks:
- Conceptual consultation
- Construction
- Production
- Just-in-time site delivery
- Installation and after-sales-service - encompassing inspection, maintenance and repair
Trains shall enter the turnout smoothly. Therefore, BWG improved the geometry of the set of switches by Kinematic Gauge Optimization - KGO®. In doing so, BWG enabled high branch speeds at equal traveling comfort in the first place.
On our high-speed lines KGO® is standard.
Competence in MRT and LRT
Throughout Europe and the world, large cities and population centers are busy modernizing their local traffic infrastructure and preparing them for future requirements. The lanes of travel with their complicated intersections and connections leading in all directions also place high demands on turnout technology. This is particularly true because some customers are demanding more than ever greater safety even with reduced traveling times.
Thanks to the special Modular Construction methods we developed, we are always able to provide customized and economical solutions. Our offer in ultra-modern grooved turnout technology leave nothing more to be desired.
Our Trademark are the special spacious assembly surfaces in our plant in Gotha. Here, large projects, such as a complete quadrangle with double tracks, can be laid out. Seeing that the completion dates keep getting shorter this is of high advantage.
Our customer accept this strategy as superior to the partial assembly of large projects.
Tracks for multiple-purpose use constitute a special technical change.
Particular constructional details must be observed in the area of turnouts and crossings. For the planning stage BWG offers the so-called Tracking Guidance Analyses based on which the turnouts are manufactured and installed.
