BG-RAIL FILCOTEN cable trough
With its lightweight design, exceptional stability and low environmental impact, the BG-RAIL FILCOTEN cable trough opens a whole new chapter in railway construction. The perfectly coordinated installation system makes for fast and precise preparation of the cable route. The lightweight design makes it much easier to install and handle. Good for the environment and your CO2 footprint. FILCOTEN HPC combines outstanding material properties with exceptional sustainability. This puts the new FILCOTEN cable trough into a class of its own when it comes to environmental friendliness. 100 percent recyclable – quality class U-A, IBR-certified organic material and low greenhouse gas emissions protect nature and improve your CO2 footprint.

<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Maximum lateral stability</h3>
The solid ribs on the side walls ensure maximum stability.
+
<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Prevents shifting at the transition</h3>
With the tongue-and-groove system, the troughs are installed from top to bottom. This helps avoid any sideways shifting and prevents grit from entering the cavity.

<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">The benefits at a glance:</h3>
<ul> <li>Lightweight yet stable component</li> <li>Environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable</li> <li>Quicker installation (manual installation possible) – less track obstruction time</li> <li>High dimensional accuracy and straightness with the tongue-and-groove system and trough installation from above</li> <li>The BG-RAIL FILCOTEN cable trough is lighter, narrower and more compact than conventional troughs. The easier and faster creation of mitre cuts saves time when diverting the run around pylons.</li> </ul>
The benefits at a glance
<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Trench belt</h3>
A trench belt can be deployed when needed and ensures a proper fit of the cover.
+
<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Smooth surface</h3>
The smooth internal surface of the BG-RAIL FILCOTEN cable trough makes it easier to pull in the cable strands.
+
<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Recess edge – outer edge of the trough</h3>
The upper edge serves as a guide to level the backfill material when creating paths.
+
<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Verified LCA (life cycle assessment)</h3>
<ul> <li>Reduced greenhouse gas emissions</li> <li>Manufactured with 100% green power</li> <li>Resource-efficient manufacturing process</li> </ul>

<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Cable trough cover</h3>
The cable trough cover protects cables from damage and harsh weather. All cable trough covers are produced with or without fibre reinforcement.
+
<h3 class="moduleOverviewItem-title">Anchoring pockets</h3>
The innovative FILCOTEN HPC production and moulding technology made it possible to design anchoring pockets for a concrete trough body to ensure an even better hold in the ballast bed.
