Overhead line construction

Our main activity is the construction, renovation and reconstruction of 25 kV, 50 Hz single-phase electrical overhead lines, in which field we have significant professional expertise. There is virtually no electrified railway line or electrification project in the Hungarian railway, in which VASÚTVILL Kft. is not included. As a result, besides the considerable professional experience, we also have a significant amount of references in the field of overhead line construction and other work related to overhead contact wire equipment.

VASÚTVILL Kft., with the existing capacities, is capable of constructing 300 wire kilometres of overhead contact wire, in a system that meets the demands of a modern electric traction system, including of course, the necessary pole installation. The overhead line to be constructed at stations can be constructed in a cross-bracket or cross-beam system as required. In order to reduce the investment costs, we can also implement cost-efficient overhead line systems for lower speeds.

Our company, of course, has all the technical equipment, certification and licensing required for overhead line construction. We have our own concrete trains, overhead line assembly vehicles, railway cranes, and we also have a major road fleet.

The headquarters of the company is located at Budapest, Jászberényi út 90. That’s where the company’s economic, technical management is performed. The workshop specializing in manufacturing activities and supplying the external construction sites, the material warehouses and the TMK department managing the operation of the vehicles are located at the central premises.

Our railway machine park:

Pole installation:

  • 3 computer-controlled concrete surfacing trains (5 m3 concrete/hour, 10 m3, 15 t cement and 12 m3 gravel storage). The train includes the overhead line crane car (FDK) and the energy generator (generator and air compressor) car as well.

Overhead line construction:

  • Automotive and tractable vehicles
    • 5 DMm type overhead line assembly vehicles
    • 2 DM type overhead line assembly vehicles
    • 2 Fj type overhead line assembly vehicles
    • 1 DGKU type overhead line assembly vehicles
  • Road-railway automotive vehicle
    • 1 VOLVO type overhead line assembly vehicles
  • Hauled vehicles
    • 3 FMW type overhead line assembly cars
    • 2 wire puller cars (winding machine) for 6 or 8 spools

In addition to the railway machine park, a significant number of road vehicles assist the work. These include crane trucks of more than 3.5 tonnes and trucks and loaders under 3.5 tonnes.
