Abstract


Rolling stock safety and speed depend primarily on the state of the railway infrastructure on which they operate.
Railway tracks that are already laid or are under construction determine the safety, speed and weight limit parameters for rolling stock. Rails will deform and erode over a period of time, due to any anomalies during the construction phases, wear and tear from rail traffic, weather or natural disasters.
An Innovative Railway fastener will provide a technical solution that will improve existing railway infrastructure. Simple installation allows the rail to float in all directions, whilst maintaining the exact centre and gauge of the track.
This reduces deterioration of the rail infrastructure and increases useable lifetime. Existing lines can be overhauled with a single new fastener, in an efficient manner. Reducing capital investment costs drastically, whilst improving railway safety.
New Features of our Railway Fastener
Scheduled maintenance of tracks is reduced, thereby increasing volumes of rail traffic. Offering increased safety and a smoother ride for passengers and freight.
Floating rail maintaining a precise profile to suit the rolling stock, environment and other aspects necessary.
Rails are completely insulated from the track installations, which reduces the level of vibration.
Any rail deformities are able to be efficiently and precisely removed
Railway infrastructure will become easier to maintain, as the track lifespan increases.
