- INFORMATION
What is a Rail Communications Pit?
Installed typically in a pit along the railway tracks, a rail communications pit is a box-like structure made of concrete or moulded plastic to help maintain communication between trains and railway control centres.
Precast concrete pits house a variety of communications equipment underground, including fibre optic and other data cables. Traincrew members use these to communicate with each other and with emergency services.
The pits vary in depth depending on the railway’s needs but are typically around 60cm deep and are covered with a metal grating or lid. The top covers are designed for heavy-duty use to withstand years of tough maintenance work. They are also equipped with ladders or other means of getting in and out.
Features of Precast Concrete Cable Pits
Versatile
DALLCON’s rail communications pits are perfect for installing and managing cables underground. Although they are designed primarily for railways, these versatile concrete cable pits can help you manage cables underground anywhere, whether it be in airports, industrial sites, pavements, car parks, sports venues, and so on.
Customisable
With a long experience of over 20 years in the industry, we understand how each project can have different requirements even within the same company. We manufacture rail communications pits of various standard sizes so that you can order as per your need. We also offer custom precast concrete rail communications pit options based on your specific requirements.
Robust
Rail communications pits are engineered and manufactured to withstand the harshest conditions using top-quality materials sourced within Western Australia. The precast concrete that’s used to build the rail communications pit is a tried and tested material that is incredibly durable. Your product will last for years without cracking, especially with proper maintenance.
Zero Water Absorption
Water leakage inside the communication pit can damage valuable cables, which costs you time, money, and resources to fix. We use water-resistant concrete for our rail communications pit to avoid such mishaps, guaranteeing no water ingress hampering the system.
Heat Resistance
The high heat resistance of concrete pits makes them ideal for use in extreme temperature conditions. They can withstand high temperatures without detrimental effects or damage.
Excellent Insulator
Concrete is an excellent material for resisting electricity. Since it does not conduct current, you can safely use precast concrete pits in installations involving conducting wires.
Custom Precast Concrete Rail Communications Pit
For specific requirements, our expert team will listen to your needs and develop the best solution to fulfil your need for a custom precast concrete rail communications pit. After you get an estimation and place the order, the shop drawing is prepared, covering the concrete pit configuration and its bellmouth.
