Deutsche Bahn was looking for a solution towards reinforcing the track ramps in the hilly area around the railway track at Horf am Neckar. Legioblock successfully took on this challenge by installing a retaining wall constructed from stackable, concrete blocks.

Efficient, reliable and sustainable

Deutsche Bahn is Germany’s national railway company. Germany has the densest rail network in Europe, especially in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the industrial Ruhr region. Deutsche Bahn’s objective is to provide efficient, reliable public transport, both for passengers and for goods. In addition, the railway company aims to promote sustainable mobility in Germany and beyond.

Legioblocks for optimal safety

Within the framework of Deutsche Bahn’s project, around 3000 stackable concrete blocks with a width of 120 centimetres were used as construction materials for reinforcing ramps in hilly terrain. The blocks were positioned at a 10-degree angle in order to guarantee the stability of the ramps and to provide a safe infrastructure within the railway network.

Careful planning and implementation

Bringing this complex project to life requires careful planning and implementation owing to the limited work space and the lack of accessibility. With their expertise and experience in supplying and positioning top-quality solutions for a range of construction and infrastructure projects, Legioblock both prepared and implemented this process with extreme precision.

Total solution from A to Z

The starting point for any project is an in-depth conversation with the customer in order to determine their preferences and requirements. Based on this input, we aim towards the most suitable, customised solution. Legioblock goes one step further than simply supplying stackable concrete blocks; we offer a complete overall solution, from construction calculation to implementation.

This total solution comprises:

  • Potentially performing static calculations to assess the stability and strength of the structure.
  • Thorough analysis of your location to understand specific needs.
  • Preparing accurate construction drawings to guide the project.
  • Efficient transport solutions in order to ensure all required materials are in the right place.
  • Expert construction, paying close attention to every detail.
