Introduction

Quality from the outset

A highly available and efficient railway track is the basis for reliable rail service. In addition, potential capacities and availability must be increased as transport requirements grow.

Permanent way must provide high availability and pleasant ride comfort.

Track maintenance requires higher production output, optimized logistics planning, and precise work. Track possessions due to maintenance must be reduced and maintenance intervals extended through sustainable track quality.

Track renewal (or track laying) using the assembly-line method provides a suitable answer to many of these requirements:

Fast availability of tracks
Material-friendly installation
Small construction gap
Precise sleeper placement – less follow-up work
Exact track geometry
High initial quality for less maintenance and a long service life
Increased capacity thanks to new, innovative superstructure materials
Material, transport, and operational logistics in the track under construction without disrupting train service on the adjacent track
High degree of automation and integration of additional work for greater efficiency

In addition to the machine systems for track renewal and track laying, Plasser & Theurer also has a complete range of products for all other forms of track treatment: this includes restoring the exact track geometry (lining, levelling, tamping, profiling, stabilizing), welding rails, measuring tasks as well as renewal and maintenance of the overhead contact line.
