Compact knowledge for planning engineers and expert assessors

Safe planning of railway projects

Construction projects in the railway environment are usually very complex. This applies to new constructions as well as to the expansion of existing facilities. The electrical engineering alone involves many different areas which should always interact smoothly.

The main focus is therefore on a holistic approach. From external lightning protection to railway earthing and internal lightning protection. What is needed here are made-to-measure, individual solutions for all plant and building components.

A glance at this page will show you all the important tools and information for your planning.

DEHNconcept is also an excellent way to save time on planning. This service provides the planning of the complete lightning and surge protection for your project as a finished module.
