ELECTRICAL PROTECTIVE SHIELD

Transparent protective roof structure for railways

Electrical protective roof structure on both sides of the bridge over the railway tracks at Karlskrona, Sweden. The protective shield construction consists of 12 mm Hammerglass mounted on a system of angled posts bolted to the side of the bridge edge girder.

The construction is strength-calculated to allow for snow and wind load and wind load from trains. The watertight and tamper-proof solution conforms to the electrical safety guidelines for electrically protective roof structures for installation on bridges over railways.

The project was commissioned by the Swedish Transport Administration.
