Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer Railway infrastructures

THE COMPANY The railway infrastructure requires constant maintenance and renewal in order to meet the growing safety needs of operators and passengers. M.M. Srl. works with the main stakeholders in the rail sector to search for innovative solutions in terms of products and systems in fibreglass. The intrinsic electrical insulation properties of fibreglass make this material particularly suitable for use in high voltage environments. ADVANTAGES MAXIMUM ELECTRICAL INSULATION In accordance with the standards EN 61340-2.3 par. 8.1 and 8.2 with ref. to ISO 1853, IEC 60167, HD 568 S1 and IEC 61340-4-5...

APPROVAL M.M. has obtained the approval by the EisenbahnBundesamt (EBA) – German Federal Railway Authority – to supply Deutsche Bahn (DB) with a high number of gratings. EBA is in charge of more than 38,000 kilometres of railway lines nationwide. FRP FOR RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURES PRICE COMPARISON: STILL DOUBTS ON FRP?

ALONG THE LINE AN ANSWER TO EVERY NEED ELETRIC CABLE CONDUITS & PITS M.M. manufactures FRP coverings, which are the ideal solution to cover pits and cable conduits in railway stations and electrical substations. The coverings, featuring a non-slip surface finishing, provide adequate load-bearing capacity for the expected traffic in accordance with the technical specifications of electrical distribution bodies. M.M. can also provide FRP self-anchoring or steel bracketed frames. CABLE DUCTS M.M.’s FRP cable duct system is ideal for the protection of cables and the distribution of electricity. Maximum...

PEDESTRIAN LEVEL CROSSINGS FOR SERVICE PERSONNEL OR THE PUBLIC Manufactured with FRP gratings featuring covered or heelproof mesh, with a high non-slip coefficient, mounting clips in stainless steel, adjustable PP supports and cover plates for hanging hooks, these products can be easily adapted to intra-line geometries including railroad switches and can be easily fixed using brackets that can suit any rail infrastructure. Available for a variety of loads and in various colours, they ensure highest versatility and safety. SLOPED STAIRWAYS FOR ACCESS TO EMBANKMENTS Manufactured using pultruded...

AN ANSWER TO EVERY NEED GATES M.M.’s FRP gates, which are made with pultruded profiles and gratings, stand out from traditional steel solutions because they are lightweight and feature high dimensional stability and dielectric properties. With single or double wings, gates are CE marked in accordance with the EU Construction Products Regulation No. 305/2011 and they are tested according to the UNI EN 13241-1 standard. OVERPASS INSULATION When dealing with the potential danger of contact with medium voltage cables, the electrical insulation of overpasses becomes fundamental. This problem can be...

OTHER APPLICATIONS • Provisional platforms: custom-tailored structural solutions designed to make sure that stations remain fully operational during the various construction stages. • Access stairways and railings for platforms, electrics and signalling: they provide easy access and electrical insulation, thus ensuring the safety of workers in all conditions. • Dielectric protection for rail overpasses railings: they prevent accidental contacts by pedestrians with potentially under-tension barriers and steel railings. • Dielectric protection for metal frameworks: made from FRP laminated ​​ elements...
