This is how it goes on!

Operational feasibility

We examine the operational feasibility of a junction, which we discuss in detail with you and develop further.

Design planning

The next step is to develop a design plan for the connecting railway and the junction with a planning office.

Technical feasibility

On the basis of the design planning, the technical feasibility of the connection point is examined. The results of this check are coordinated with your planner and become part of the planning. Furthermore, a cost estimate for the construction of the junction is prepared.

Financing

You will also receive advice on the financing of the connection point as well as the connection railway facilities after the connection point.

Planning and official approvals

Official permits for the construction and operation of the industrial siding must be obtained as part of the planning process.

Construction of the industrial siding

As soon as the official approval has been obtained, construction can take place.

Infrastructure connection railway contract

Parallel to the construction of the connecting railway, the infrastructure connection railway contract required for operation must be concluded, which regulates, among other things, the connection of the connecting railway to the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG network.

Commissioning

Finally, the acceptance of the connection point as well as the connection railway facilities after the connection point takes place.
