Tension Masts for Sustainable Mobility in The Hague

In The Hague, tension masts play a key role in public transportation. They not only support and maintain tension in the overhead lines for trams and RandstadRail but also form an essential part of the city’s transition toward fully electric and sustainable mobility.

Strength and Aesthetics
Tension masts must withstand enormous pulling forces to keep overhead lines tight. At the same time, they stand in the middle of urban environments and help define the streetscape. That’s why VDL Mast Solutions designs and manufactures masts that are not only technically reliable but also visually aligned with their surroundings.

Tailor-Made for Complex Projects
Overhead line projects like those in The Hague are often highly complex. Our project managers work closely with clients to develop customized solutions. From calculations and design to production, everything is handled in-house, in full compliance with European standards and the client’s specific requirements.

Fast Delivery and Installation
Thanks to our own vehicle fleet and the use of tubular pile foundations, we can install the masts quickly and efficiently, even in busy or built-up areas. This minimizes disruption for both traffic and nearby residents.

Multifunctional Possibilities
In addition to their primary function, tension masts can also serve as carriers for other applications such as line lighting, signage, antennas, or even advertising. This makes them a valuable contribution to a more sustainable and multifunctional public space.
