Composantes de l'infrastructure

Traverses de chemin de fer

Les traverses (traverses) constituent la base de la structure de la voie ferrée et répartissent les charges entre les rails et le lit de ballast. Lankhorst EP fabrique des traverses de chemin de fer en plastique recyclé qui offrent une durée de vie de plus de 50 ans sans entretien, surpassant largement le bois en termes de durabilité, d'impact environnemental et de coût total de possession.
