Water damage Kijfhoek

On Friday 15 September, a construction pit - made for renewing the automatic hill system - flooded. When the water was pumped away, it entered the cellars, where the electric motors of the evacuation and back-up system are located. These 126 electric motors were damaged.

After consultation with DB Cargo (currently the only carrier using the hill system) and Siemens as supplier of the existing and new hill system, infrastructure manager ProRail has decided not to repair the damage caused at Kijfhoek. Read more in the attached 'DB Cargo informs'.
