Track 1 Completed on Phase 2.2
At the end of March, the first major milestone in construction phase 2.2 of the U3 subway line extension in Nuremberg was achieved – the completion of Track 1.
-
A total of 1,850 meters of slab track was installed, including two switches
-
Construction time was reduced to just under four months through a combination of simplification, automation, and digitalization
This achievement reflects strong collaboration between:
-
The public transport team
-
Machine technology experts
-
RSRG’s Digital Rail Services
Innovative Construction Methods
Key factors that enabled this rapid progress included:
-
▪️ Simple, flexible, and traversable lifting and aligning system for track grid installation
-
▪️ Automated drilling vehicle capable of performing four core drillings in parallel, with automated feed and recycling flushing water
-
▪️ Mixing and grouting unit specially developed for the IVES track system
What’s Next?
🚧 Work is now beginning on Track 2, with expected completion by July, and the switches by August.
🛠️ Meanwhile, a new road-rail excavator featuring state-of-the-art 3D machine control will be used to lay sub-ballast for 700 meters of ballasted track, including five switches.
📐 All surveying data is being prepared by RSRG’s Digital Rail Services.
⚡ At the same time, construction of the power rail for Track 1 is also underway.
