voestalpine VAE Middle East (Railways)

Building and operation of railroads in desert areas such as those of the Middle East region requires special considerations regarding the prevailing harsh environmental conditions, such as sand, sand accumulations, sand-storms, dust, heat and the high corrosive and aggressive ambiance in coastal regions.

Without technical mitigation measures these harsh environmental conditions are immediate safety matters, they affect the railway operations and they hamper serviceability and reliability of such railroads. And hence, only distinct technical solutions, specially engineered track component designs – all proven under such harsh environmental conditions – will ensure a safe, efficient and reliable railway system and operation.
