Calais SNCF Station
Bespoke creation and installation of a railway pit cover with a load of 25 T/m2 on a 26 m concrete pit.


Mars 2026
Xpertive develops bespoke safety solutions for pits.
Calais station is a railway station located in the Hauts-de-France region. It is the most important station in the city, situated a few hundred metres from its historic centre. It generates annual traffic approaching 1.2 million passengers.
This project, carried out in a railway environment, required a complete adaptation of our solution to meet the technical constraints and strict requirements of SNCF.
Our teams have designed an installation fully bespoke with
- specific angle brackets,
- Creation of a dedicated chassis for engine integration,
- Storage and recovery system suited to the site's operational constraints.
All studies and technical modifications were carried out in-house by our design office, headed by Bastien JOINEAU in order to ensure perfect integration of the pit cover while maintaining our primary objectives:
a Total tank sealing
and
maximum productivity
A technically demanding project successfully completed by Xpertive.
Result after
Bespoke creation and installation of a railway pit cover with a load of 25 T/m2 on a 26 m concrete pit.
