mageba scope

mageba has been involved in this unique project from the early stage of design, and contributed to the construction of the bridges by supplying 24 TENSA-RAIL RSU80 joints (each measuring 6.3 m in length) for installation in the ballast bed of the light rail bridge.

The railway joints were produced by mageba Russia’s production facility in Saint Petersburg.
