Platform roof type HSM System®
The HSM System® is a newly developed modular construction system with a special assembly method for railway platform roofing. It provides a solution between the weather protected building and a parallel running roof at the edge of a railway platform.

Concept
- This is an innovative railway platform roofing system, which can be prefabricated independent of respective projects.
The parts are produced and stored in the factory independent of projects. - The HSM System® is available in 2 roof widths:
- 5.00 m for platform widths from 5.65 m to 8.60 m (type A, download roof type views)
- 4.00 m for platform widths from 4.65 m to 7.60 m (type B, download roof type views)
- Roof system length: The individual length is 18 m, but can be endlessly added on to (as an overall roof or with distances).
- Due to the fact that they are not as high as previously constructed platform roof systems, they provide more weather protection.
- Innovative assembly concept from only one trackside, which means that only one side needs to be closed down and have the overhead contact lines switched off.
- Legally protected registered design
Advantages
The assembly of the HSM System® roofing can be easily and quickly performed. The advantages for constructors that this platform provides are quite obvious:
- short planning and approval periods, no more project related planning (platform edge)
- use of commercially available profiles/materials
- top-quality corrosion protection due to galvanising
- short delivery periods due to prefabrication (“shelf-stored products”)
- short assembly times due to prefabricated building elements and innovative assembly method (push method for roof elements)
- integrated lighting/sound systems
- integrated fall protection system/restraint system
- prefabricated part foundation with integrated furnishing elements / information elements (optional)
- screw connections of supports above ground protected against de-icing salt, easy access for building approval inspections
- in the case of prefabricated part foundations, the platform surface can be made in one sweep, subsequent openings for roof assembly are not necessary
- economical investment and life-cycle costs
