TRACK CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Since 2002 Europool has operated in the conventional track construction business. Complete construction measures are being executed, mainly on behalf of our client Deutsche Bahn (German Railway). Projects like these are conducted by our own qualified civil engineers and well-trained commercial employees who have all the equipment required at their disposal.

TRACK AND PHYSICAL STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE

The areas calculation, planning and preparation of work are likewise covered by our own staff. Our projects include new building, upgrading and structural alteration works of consisting physical structures as well as the maintenance of track.

Europool is still a young company, but with access to the decades of experience of the Knape Group. Europool is also continually growing and in a strong economic position. We can therefore provide a consistent increase in our sales and staff numbers.

LOCOMOTIVE AND RAILWAY CARRIAGE CONSTRUCTION SITES

Furthermore Europool continues to build partnerships in the field of logistics and material supply for rail work. Our goal is to provide construction sites purely for Europool as well as those of the Knape Group, designed for Europool's machines, such as locomotives and railway carriages. Development proposals for such construction sites are well under way.
