Emplacement Hengelo

18 August 2025

Six weeks of intensive railway works at Hengelo station!

We are proud that Heatpoint is making a significant contribution to the refurbishment of the Hengelo marshalling yard, commissioned by ProRail and carried out by Dura Vermeer.

What’s happening?

From 9 August to 22 September 2025, Dura Vermeer will be carrying out large-scale works on behalf of ProRail, including the refurbishment of nine points and the removal of 1,200 metres of redundant track. At the same time, the overhead lines will be upgraded, new service and stabling tracks will be constructed, and more space will be created for train maintenance and traffic flow.

Sustainability plays a key role in this: points heating will be converted from gas-fired to electric, ensuring a future-proof and more environmentally friendly rail infrastructure.

Heatpoint’s role:

Heatpoint supplies and installs the electric point heating system, which contributes to reliability and safety, particularly in winter conditions. With our expertise, we are helping ProRail make the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable solutions. We are convinced that this upgrade is not only good for the climate but also for the reliability of rail services, and that is something we can all be proud of together.
