Project description

At the railroad station in Nuth, set in the hilly and rainy province of Limburg, well-functioning drainage has always been an important issue. To meet the high requirements and keep the level crossing dry at all times, the STRAIL drainage kerbstone (D kerbstone) was the perfect addition to the pede system, which is widely used in the Netherlands.

The D kerbstone stood out for its ease of use and integrated effortlessly into the station’s existing drainage system.

With the pede level crossing system and the STRAIL D kurbstone working together, crossing the tracks in Nuth is now safe and worry-free, even in wet conditions.
