Polysafe Level Crossing Systems

Polysafe Level Crossing Systems

Dominating the railway level crossings market in the UK since the mid 1970s, the Bomac design was combined with modern materials in 1990 by Polysafe. The result was a level crossing system that key stakeholders in the rail network were looking for: reliable, durable, cost-effective, easy to maintain and above all – extremely safe.

The same qualities are in demand today with much higher volumes and speeds of road and rail traffic and the Polysafe system continues to meet this demand. Using the latest in Polymer Concrete technology and a design that eliminates problems associated with systems that are supported by sleepers and/or ballast, the Polysafe system has evolved to meet today’s demands.

And because Polysafe is a UK-based company, manufacturing their own product in the UK, turnaround times are quick and flexible to meet the needs of our clients.
