Railway Track Revegetation

Vegetation along railway tracks plays a crucial role in maintaining infrastructure stability, improving environmental compatibility, and enhancing local microclimates. Reliable vegetation establishment is essential, whether it’s along railway embankments, trackside areas, or urban green tracks.

SR-Begrünungstechnik GmbH relies on innovative methods such as hydroseeding and hydromulching, which offer superior advantages for these challenging conditions. Due to the exposed locations and typically nutrient-poor soils associated with railway areas, traditional mulch materials like short-chopped or long straw are unsuitable for these applications.

Efficient Revegetation of Railway Embankments and Trackside Areas

Railway embankments and trackside vegetation areas are often characterized by nutrient-poor soils and exposed locations with limited irrigation opportunities, especially during seed germination phases. Our specialized hydromulch compositions, enriched with biotic soil amendments and organic tackifiers, provide optimal conditions for reliable vegetation growth under such challenging circumstances. These hydromulch mixtures offer water retention capacities of up to 1200% of their dry weight, significantly enhancing seed germination success and vegetation establishment, even under dry conditions.

All materials used are ecologically safe and fully compliant with EU Regulation 2018/848, certifying them for organic farming applications.

Specialized Equipment for Railway Infrastructure Revegetation

We possess unique hydroseeding equipment featuring additional tanks that can be directly mounted onto railway maintenance vehicles. This capability enables efficient application of vegetation solutions directly alongside railway tracks, providing flexibility, cost-efficiency, and rapid establishment.

Urban Green Tracks – Improving Cities Sustainably

Urban areas are increasingly embracing green tracks for streetcar and tram infrastructure. Green track solutions provide aesthetic enhancements, improve urban microclimates, reduce noise pollution, and contribute significantly to dust control.

Our hydromulching-based hydroseeding processes precisely meet these urban requirements. Using specialized mulch materials, we deliver high-quality vegetation solutions that achieve rapid establishment, significantly reduce dust and noise levels, and integrate seamlessly into the urban landscape.
