BODAN LEVEL CROSSING SYSTEMS

In 1973 GMUNDNER FERTIGTEILE introduced the BODAN level crossing systems as a licensee and became in 1984 owner of all BODAN patents worldwide.

A prototype for domestic railway stations combined with a techno-room according to the new architectural design-manual of the Austrian railway administration.

After an exact measurement this level crossing was installed in Germany.

BODAN level crossing system Installed in the new white sleeper track system in Germany. No other system can be installed with standard panels.

The first LeBODAN level crossing system in Austria.

The first installation of a SoBODAN-noise absorbing wall in Austria. These panels provide a high absorption standard.

In 1979 GMUNDNER FERTIGTEILE introduced the latest polymer concrete technology for BODAN panels and since 1985 the system is exclusively produced in our own patented polymer concrete GEFCON.

In 1996 GMUNDNER FERTIGTEILE has been certified by ÖQS for ISO 9000 as the first Austrian prefabricated parts producer.

ADVANTAGES AND ECONOMY

• Low maintenance costs in railway track
• Same conditions as on free railway track
• Easy to change to another level crossing
• Temporary use of the system is possible
• No fix-points in the railway track geometry
• No change in the flexibility of the railway track
