Overhead lines on public transport always pose a potential risk of electric shock. These can be life-threatening. That is why it is a legal requirement to install appropriate protection at locations where there is a risk of contact, such as road or pedestrian bridges.
Saferoad helps you to secure sources of danger and supplies you with customized contact protection systems that comply with all legal requirements – and ensure the necessary safety!
According to RIZ Elt 2, suitable contact protection is required wherever crossing road or pedestrian bridges meet overhead lines. To ensure the necessary protection against electric shocks from the active parts of the overhead lines, a protection system must be installed there.
It is therefore important for your project that you check the necessity of such protective measures in advance – and act accordingly. This is usually the case in connection with railways, guided local transport systems such as trams, elevated and underground railways, and mountain railways. To meet these requirements, we offer contact protection systems that comply with DIN EN 50122-1.
Our system consists of an aluminum-steel construction, which we can paint according to customer specifications.
The acrylic glass panels are enclosed in an aluminum frame, which is held in place by corresponding steel posts. In accordance with the reference drawing, we supply the touch protection with a continuous handrail.
Of course, our design department can also implement customer-specific requests or special designs in compliance with current and applicable regulations and guidelines.
