The electrification program

Mastfoundations for 1,300 kilometers of railway.

In Denmark, Banedanmark launched a large-scale project in 2015 with the aim of electrifying the Danish railway network. Here, only mastfoundation piles from Centrum Pæle are used. The project is expected to be completed during 2026. The mastfoundation piles are specially developed by Centrum Pæle and were chosen as the preferred method to support the many electrification masts on the tracks.

The piles are chosen as they provide a fast, adaptable and safe method of installing piles on railway lines. Furthermore, the mast foundation piles have a design life of up to 120 years, making them a cost-effective and sustainable solution for the electrification market.

Our prefabricated mastfoundation foundation piles are designed to have a durability of up to 120 years. They are a fast and safe foundation system designed for subsequent installation of various electrification masts. Our mastfoundation piles are based on the traditional prefabricated concrete pile. However, stainless steel bolts are integrated into this pile, serving as the connection point between the pile and the mast on top of it.

The piles are specifically adapted to utilize the integration of a mast. This is achieved by enlarging the upper part of the pile sections, thereby increasing the bearing capacity of the pile. Mast foundation piles are produced at Centrum Pæle’s factories in Denmark and Poland. The piles are manufactured in a controlled environment and with a high uniform quality that ensures full traceability for each pile.

With a long design life, Centrum Pæle’s mastfoundation piles are a cost-effective and sustainable solution when stable foundations are needed.
