A sustainable solution to extend rail life on European metros.

Switzerland’s unique and beautiful landscape of many lakes and mountains poses a considerable challenge for rail transport. Cities that are spaced far apart, as well as local neighbors, all have to be connected with each other, over long as well as shorter distances.

voestalpine Railway Systems and PJM Measuring installed sensors on an existing vehicle of Metro Barcelona, hence the rail measuring was performed automatically.

Level crossings (also known as “rail crossings”) represent one of the main interfaces between the railway and the public on a rail network.

voestalpine Railway Systems and its Austrian partner PJ Messtechnik have developed a unique method of rail maintenance specifically for metros comprising smart rail monitoring and subsequent milling of rails in plain track and turnouts.

The world’s longest coated rails can now be produced in Hilversum, the Netherlands. Rail rolling lengths of 120 meters are coated and then connected by two flash butt welds of up to a maximum of 360 meters.
