This Revit family provides a detailed overhead line electrification mast for railway infrastructure, designed for precise site modelling. This industrial-grade electrification mast features a vertical steel column supported by a base plate, paired with a cantilevered horizontal arm designed to hold overhead contact wires. The geometry includes insulators and connection brackets typical of standard railway catenary systems. Its clean, linear form is engineered for accuracy in large-scale infrastructure projects. The structural components are clearly defined, showing the necessary technical assembly for trackside power distribution. The model is lightweight, focusing on the necessary silhouette and essential connection points without excessive polygon count, making it suitable for extensive rail corridor developments.
The download is a 492 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit project as a site component. It is best placed along rail corridors using the standard alignment tools or by snapping to reference planes. The family is designed to be hosted on level-based surfaces or site topography. Once positioned, the mast can be arrayed along a path to simulate extended rail electrification lines. Materials can be assigned to the steel components via the object parameters to match specific render requirements.
Overhead Line Electrification Mast for Railway
Free
This asset is essential for civil engineering, transport planning, and large-scale urban design projects. It is primarily used to populate rail station environments, depot layouts, and trackside infrastructure models during the schematic and detailed design phases. Professionals working on transit-oriented developments or rail network expansions will find this useful for site visualization and coordination. It pairs effectively with railway track families, station platforms, and overhead catenary wire systems to create a comprehensive, technically accurate representation of modern electrified rail transport infrastructure.
