In collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration, Hammerglass AB has produced a modern, electrical protective roof structure to cover overhead contact lines as a replacement for the old sheet-metal protective covers. The electrical protective shield is strength-calculated to allow for snow- and wind load and for the wind load from passing trains. The hard and smooth surface treatment of Hammerglass helps to ensure that dirt and dust are in most cases washed off the roof structure by the action of rain. The surface treatment also provides 99.96% UV protection, which means that the material will not cloud, discolour or undergo any other change in optical quality over time.
A 12 millimeter LIFE-SAVER
Protective shields save lives. Around high-voltage- and overhead contact lines the risk of electrical accidents involving serious personal injury is always imminent. The roof construction in unbreakable Hammerglass conforms to the electrical safety guidelines for electrical protective roof structures for installation on bridges over railway tracks. The design blends in with the surroundings, and at the same time it forms a solid barrier against live conductors.
