The UBIX® Temporary Roof System from COMBISAFE has once again proved its versatility, providing weather and dust protection for trains undergoing painting and refurbishment at a train maintenance depot near Berlin.

Faced with the ongoing maintenance of rolling stock, including Germany’s high speed ICE trains, client FWM Fahrzeugwerke were looking for a moveable and temporary roofing solution at their Henningsdorf depot. The roof needed to allow the maintenance team to paint the trains without the need to move them as they progressively move down the length of the train. Designed with safety as the top priority, the UBIX® Temporary Roofing System proved ideal, protecting both the workers and train carriages from wind, rain, snow and dust during essential repairs.

Using just a small number of components, UBIX® is the lightest and most economical temporary roofing system on the market and can be installed quickly, safely and economically. Requiring no specialist tools or lifting gear, it can be managed by a relatively small team.

When combined with the RUNWAY® System, the UBIX® Temporary Roof offers an even more efficient erection process and allows the roof to be rolled over the next train without having to shunt the trains around the depot.

By using the UBIX® Roof System to protect trains during refurbishment, COMBISAFE has further enhanced its reputation for providing innovative safety systems.
