Level Crossings


Installing and commissioning Level Crossings is a complex and time consuming process. Even before the installation team arrives on the site, the materials sourcing and logistics planning is onerous and adds a lot of cost to the projects.

As a prime supplier to major rail network operators, we have many years of experience in developing rail product and application solutions. These competences have been used as a springboard into international markets working with major players across rail sectors.

Until now, installation of the Level Crossing components was done in-situ, using valuable technical resource and taking several hours to undertake the wiring, test and commission.

We can offer our customers a complete solution. Our Modular Level Crossing Island is designed to deliver all your crossing material requirements, pre-tested and plug coupled, to your site, where and when you need it.
