SPL Powerlines Nederland plans and erects catenary systems for tram lines, local city trains and industrial railways, according to the very latest standards. A modern city without electrically powered public transport is unthinkable. Catenary systems have become part of a city’s identity and enable people to live their lives on a day-to-day basis. The corresponding power supply system, or especially customised combination of technologies, is constructed in complete accordance with the requirements of the customer, whether it’s a single or double catenary system, overhead contact line, third rail or ceiling-mounted conductor rail system. Our installation engineers are all-rounders with in-depth knowledge of the specific system types and architectures. They are trained to find the most suitable solutions, however complex the challenge – be it at large junctions, in depots or railway stations.  

The trolley-bus is a means of public transport with a long history. By the mid-20th century it had become widespread in European cities as it was not dependant on the existence of tracks. As municipalities increase efforts to become more environmentally friendly, modern trolley-buses with electric motors are in increasing demand. They are healthier for the environment than equivalent diesel-powered vehicles and their positive acceleration capacities allow them to be used in areas with steep inclines. SPL Powerlines Nederland erects complete catenary systems for trolley-buses. When implementing catenary systems each city has its own peculiarities, particularly of a structural-architectural nature (statics etc.), all of which have to be taken into consideration.
