Groningen renews tracks: efficient disposal, smart reuse
No fewer than 55 flatbed trucks were needed. The track renewal project in Groningen began on May 10 with the removal of old track sections. But where removal often marks the end of the line for railway materials, this project gives them a second life. The 55 trucks headed to our reuse and recycling facility in Hilversum, where the track sections are dismantled and undergo a thorough quality inspection. After that, materials are sorted and made available for reuse in the railway sector or for other recycling purposes.
