STRABAG – the Group

STRABAG is a European technology group for construction services and a leader in innovation
and financial strength. We create value for our clients by integrating various services and
taking responsibility. We bring together people, materials and machinery at the right place
and the right time in order to realise even complex construction projects – on schedule, in
accordance with quality requirements and at the best price.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our more than 73,000 employees, we are one
of the few companies capable of offering services along the entire construction value chain
– from design to planning, from construction to property and facility services, from operation
all the way to demolition. A dense network of numerous subsidiaries in many European
countries and, increasingly, on other continents is helping to expand our area of operation
far beyond the borders of Austria and Germany. This broad diversification puts us in a position
to make the best use of resources while keeping costs down during construction projects.

We have our mission statement in mind when we plan for our future and distribute resources.
Moreover, we let our principles guide us in all of our considerations.

STRABAG Rail GmbH

Because success comes from working together
STRABAG Rail is an international railway construction company and part of the
STRABAG SE Group. Thanks to more than 90 years of experience, we provide valuable
momentum in the planning phase of railway construction projects and set high standards
of quality for the execution of construction work.

For us, railway construction comprises all turnkey rail transport systems. On the strength
of our highly qualified team, state-of-the-art equipment fleet, and innovative track construction
products, we are capable of executing all of our projects quickly and flexibly. The expertise and
dedication of our employees allow us to realise even the most complex construction projects
on time and to meet all quality requirements.

We believe in the power of the team, which makes all the difference when we create
amazing things. For this reason, the team of STRABAG Rail and its associates is your
expert partner.

Rail treatment
milling for removing defects and profile-deviations on
the rail head

To extend the lay-days of rails in the track and to avoid cost-intensive replacement of rails, STRA-
BAG Rail GmbH employs advanced rail milling machines. These machines are self-propelled
mobile CNC milling machines and restore the transverse- and longitudinal-target-profile of the rail
head by using geometrically defined cutting edges. In contrast to conventional rail grinding, rail
milling is capable of realizing a material removal rate in the range of millimetres without significant
heat introduction into the rail. In order to restore the target profile of the rail head, the rail milling
machines in general only need one pass. STRABAG Rail employs two different types of rail
milling machines, which are operated by experienced and highly trained crews.

−− 2 units of rail-bound rail milling machine SF03 W-FFS

−− 2 units of road-rail milling machine SF02 W-FS Truck

Main fields of application in detail:

−− Removing surface cracks (e.g. head checks) and other defects
−− Reprofiling the transverse- and longitudinal-target-profile after damage or wear
−− Establish a new target profile such as anti-head check profile
−− Various rail head profiles possible
−− Preventive maintenance by removing the mill scale of new rails, removing rust and
surface impurities

overhead electrification
STRABAG Rail Fahrleitungen GmbH constructs overhead electrification for long-distance
rail and is a certified Q1 supplier and full-range service provider for the planning, installation
and maintenance of standardised overhead electrification systems for Deutsche Bahn AG.

Apart from carrying out the planning and structural calculations, we also lay foundations,
erect masts, string the contact and catenary wires, assemble the catenary systems, and
install electrical earthing, as well as overhead wire control and voltage testing systems.

With a team of qualified employees and a high level of competence in overhead installations,
STRABAG Rail Fahrleitungen has helped drive a number of new developments in this field,
such as a measuring system to map and record the position of the contact wire (ELDIS II)
and software to calculate cantilevers and droppers for mechanical prefabrication (PROLIS).
Moreover, our self-developed pile driving technique has won approval from Deutsche Bahn
AG.

Many private-sector and municipal clients value us as a competent partner in the planning
and installation of overhead lines for trams, urban rail and industrial railways.

Our highly trained and attentive employees have an extensive fleet of special-purpose
assembly and maintenance vehicles at their disposal in order to meet the high quality
standards of our clients – flexibly, reliably and on schedule.

We create the ideal conditions for safe rail traffic.
