Projects

The Steindorf–Neumarkt line is being modernized and an additional track is being added. The existing catenary system will be renewed and extended to supply the third track.

The existing 220 kV line, which leads from the Salzburg substation (Elixhausen) to the Tauern substation (Kaprun), was built in 1960. After a long period of operation, modernization is now urgently required.

A 110/220 kV line was being dismantled along the Gütersloh – Lüstringen section and was replaced by a new 110/380 kV line.

As part of the expansion of the Rhine Valley Railway, the overhead line on the route between Karlsruhe and the Bashaide junction is being replaced.

The expansion of the railway line between Vienna and Bratislava will create a fast and safe train connection between two EU capitals. In various construction phases, individual sections of the route from Raasdorf to the Marchegg state border and the Siebenbrunn-Leopoldsdorf train station will be electrified.

Electrification of the Pfronten-Steinach railway section

A single contact line is being built at the Eberswalde container station.

In the largest iron ore mine in Central Europe, an overhead line system was being built to transport material along the main conveyor line.

Catenary adjustment and line routing at Ulm Central Station

EUROPTEN carried out the overhead line installation work in the Karawanken tunnel and the subsequent section of the line on Slovenian territory in 2021.

A new 380 kV line was being built between Ganderkesee and St. Hülfe. EUROPTEN took over the project planning, the master’s direction and the rope pulling for this section.

The Graz local transport hub is to be further improved by the renovation of the large shunting yard by 2026.

Along the existing route, the high-voltage towers was replaced with a complete replacement of the electrical circuit.

The energy supply for the Sonnblick observatory was set up over 30 years ago. In order to protect the line from failures in the future, a redundant energy supply with a second 20 kV energy air traveling cable is being set up.

The Salzburg main station will be expanded by storage sidings.

Along line 4000, the section between the Müllheim and Schliengen stations will be expanded to include four tracks and the Müllheim station will be renewed.

The upgraded line Emmerich – Oberhausen is part of the most important European transport corridor from Rotterdam to Genoa and is one of the major infrastructure development projects in Germany.

In section Fürwag–Weitwörth, the overhead line system of the Salzburg local railway was renewed.

EUROPTEN carried out final work on the overhead line system for the modernization of the Salzburg Gnigl shunting yard.

On the Westbahn line between Tullnerbach-Pressbaum and Rekawinkel, the catenary was renewed and 120 catenary masts were replaced.

Overhead line renewal and conversion works at Augsburg Railway Station in the area of Holzbachbrücke.

The Lindau rail hub will be expanded extensively in the next few years. All railway tracks will be electrified and a new railway station will be built in the Lindau district of Reutin.

In a consortium project the overhead line system of the eastern Höllentalbahn (Hell Valley Railway) was fully electrified.

As an electrical engineering company we have comprehensive know-how in constructing foundations for masts, noise barriers and signals for railway track systems.

Europten Schweiz AG was commissioned to plan the railway electrification system for the Waldenburg railway station and several track sections of the Waldenburg Railway.

At the beginning of June 2018 ÖBB Infrastruktur AG commissioned European Trans Energy GmbH to electrify the Gailtal Railway. The single-track line from Arnoldstein to Hermagor was fully electrified by the end of the 2019.

For the line upgrade Munich - Lindau EUROPTEN was contracted to install the overhead line system at the track section from Hergatz to Lindau. By closing the electrification gap of the last track section between Hergatz and Lindau trains will soon be able to run with electric traction from Munich to the Allgäu region.

The electrification and upgrading of the track section from Munich via Memmingen to Lindau creates a modern transportation service for the Allgäu region and the connection between the two European metropoles Munich and Zurich.

EUROPTEN carried out the planning and the entire construction of the overhead line system for the western Höllentalbahn (Hell Valley Railway) line, i.e. line 4300 W, from Freiburg main station to Neustadt station.

At the 4300 Höllentalbahn railway line EUROPTEN fitted a new overhead line system at a length of approximately seven kilometres at the track section between Titisee and Neustadt.

Esbjerg – Lunderskov is the first section of the Danish Electrification Programme which aims at electrifying approximately 1,300 km of railway tracks by 2026. EUROPTEN supported this project as a subcontractor for overhead line installations.

In the course of implementing the energy transition TenneT TSO GmbH and Amprion GmbH plan to upgrade the transmission grid in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. One section of this upgrade comprises the line with a length of 31.3km from Dörpen West substation to the connection point in Meppen.

To facilitate freight and passenger traffic the Pottendorf Line will be completely upgraded between Wiener Neustadt and Vienna Meidling. In January 2017 EUROPTEN was commissioned to carry out the pole setting and overhead line works between Hennersdorf station and Achau railway station (construction section 1). This was completed at the end of 2019.

FART SA, based in Locarno, Switzerland, operates the narrow-gauge railway, with a gauge of one meter, from Locarno in the canton of Ticino through Centovalli to the Swiss border in Ribellasca, Italy. The catenary system is a maintenance-intensive catenary system that dates back to the 1950s.

The Three Lakes Railway (line 4301) diverges from the Höllental railway (line 4300) at Titisee station. It runs as a branch line to Seebrugg station and ends there at kilometer 19,810. The entire system was renewed by European Trans Energy GmbH from April to June 2016.

After the Gotthard Tunnel the Ceneri Base Tunnel is the second biggest tunnel building project of the ‘New Railway Link through the Alps’ (NRLA) in Switzerland. This route is aiming at improving the rail transit traffic from north to south and at shifting goods traffic from road to rail.

Europten has installed a new catenary system at the Vienna Inzersdorf Terminal of the Austrian Federal Railways so that the goods traffic can be handled in an even more environmentally friendly way.

For 2015, an installed wind generation capacity of 4,400 MW was expected on the west coast, so it was urgently necessary to expand the high-voltage network in this area.

The project ‘Erding Ring Closure (Erdinger Ringschluss) – Improving the Rail Connection to Munich Airport’ was aiming for improving the rail connection of the Munich Airport and for connecting the airport not only with suburban railways (S-Bahn) but also regional railways.

Planning and construction of a catenary system (Re330)

The projects ‘Section 4, Coswig‘ and ‘Section 6, Rosslau Goods Station, Construction Phase 4’ included restructures of rail systems between Coswig and Piesteritz and a restructure of the Rosslau Goods Station (construction phase 4).
