The New Efficiency

Up to twice as fast. Even where space is limited.

Analysis of project potential shows that the innovative MAX Knape construction and logistics method enables rail infrastructure to be built more efficiently, more cost-effectively, and with a lower environmental impact than conventional approaches — especially in locations where space is restricted and access is challenging.
The System

Turning a Bottleneck into an Intelligent System

MAX Knape turns logistics into a key success factor on the construction site. A new system logic organizes the flow of materials all the way to the construction front, ensuring that every required material - from concrete and rails to track slabs - is available exactly where and when it is needed.

The MAX Knape System creates the conditions for consistently high construction output: on a single construction track, using just one wagon type, delivered in the exact sequence required, supplied from one direction via two transport levels and without the need for additional transport routes.

Benefits

Up to

twice the construction speed

Up to

60%
reduction in CO₂ emissions

Up to

90% smaller
site footprint
