EFFICIENT TURNOUT MAINTENANCE: THEORY AND PRACTICE

This seminar equips participants with the essential knowledge for effective turnout maintenance. It combines a theoretical overview of turnout systems with hands-on experience using our dedicated training turnout. Attendees will learn how to conduct precise measurements, inspect fastening components, and systematically document their findings. The program is designed to build both understanding and confidence in maintaining turnout infrastructure to the highest standards.
