Take the hassle out of installing trackside cable troughing by choosing the innovative ARCOSYSTEM® from CCS for your next rail project.
Manufactured from pultruded glass fibre-reinforced polymers (GRP/FRP) and complemented by a bespoke range of laser-cut steel bracketry, ARCOSYSTEM® can be post-mounted into the ground or fastened to a range of trackside features, such as railings, bridges, hillside slopes, HEA beams, noise barriers or rock walls. The specialist lightweight design of the composite engineered plastic troughing allows for enhanced versatility during installation, ensuring height and direction adjustments can be easily made, particularly in tight-to-access areas along the route. This dramatically speeds up installation times, while reducing costs and strain/injuries for on-site operatives. The adaptable yet sturdy construction of ARCOSYSTEM® provides durability in all weathers, safely containing trackside power, signal, high-voltage and digital communication cables in temperatures ranging from -40˚C to +80˚C.
The system can accommodate cable loads of up to 90kg/m while there is a range of trough sizes and ARCOSYSTEM® troughing attached to the side of a stone bridge near Klagenfurt, Austria Track & Trackside Materials bracket designs available to suit a variety of projects and locations.
