The streetcars in Dresden are shining in new splendor again, thanks to the extensively renovated washing facility at the Trachenberge depot. Due to its narrow design, the old facility was no longer able to clean the new, wider light rail vehicles.
Wash and Go - for more sustainability and visibility
The new, high-performance washing system not only ensures that the vehicles shine, but also contributes to a longer service life for Dresden's streetcars. The technology has been modernized to meet the requirements of the new vehicles.
Special challenges
The project presented a number of challenges: the refurbishment took place during ongoing operations, which required precise planning and coordination. In addition, the steel structure had to be extensively refurbished and old paint containing lead had to be removed. The close cooperation with the car wash constructors and the large number of parties involved on the client side also led to complex coordination processes. An additional, not insignificant aspect was the cost explosion during the project period.
A real team project
Despite these challenges, the project was successfully completed. A big thank you to everyone involved in this project.
