Innovative Mast for Green Electrification, Furrer+Frey GB
- Made:
- 2021
Railway electrification mast made of composite material. This mast only weighs 20% of the weight of a traditional mast made of steel, which means easier handling on site, whilst achieving similar strength and durability. The greatest advantage is the massive reduction of energy use in manufacturing, installation and maintenance, which significantly reduces costs and carbon emissions. The Innovative MAst for Green Electrification (IMAGE) was one of the winners of UK’s First-of-A-Kind 2021 rail competition.
