Sustainable Steel Construction for your Future

Load-bearing structures made from decommissioned rails with 94% less CO2, efficient, durable and economical - for your future-oriented construction project

Railway

Building with decommissioned rails. Economical, efficient, and ecological at the same time

Rail structures utilise decommissioned rails as primary load-bearing structures. This standardised construction method enables ecological building with steel and at the same time, low-cost construction projects.

Applications

A construction worker installing a tall, repurposed steel beam onto a concrete foundation at a building site. The new structural frame is surrounded by scaffolding.

Hall structures

Optimal space efficiency in hall construction. Their use is not only space and cost-effective, but also drastically improves your company's ecological footprint.

Roofing

Ideally suited for efficient use in public spaces. The elegant appearance embodies both progress and sustainability.

Why Chose Rail structures

Standardized steel techniques create resilient rail-based structures. Proven workflows ensure precise and efficient implementation. Modular design allows flexible and rapid assembly using existing resources cost-effectively.

Economical

More economical than comparable steel structures made of new steel.

Sustainable

More sustainable with 94% less CO² than conventional steel construction.

Trendsetting

Make a convincing first impression with innovation and future-oriented thinking.

A potential for the construction industry

More economical than comparable steel structures made of new steel.

For you and the next generation.
