Due to continuously increasing passenger frequencies and train loads over the last years, transit systems in North America face the challenge of accelerated rail degradation combined with less time for doing rail maintenance to counter this degradation. Although rail grinding is a well-established and proven technology, it is often not efficient enough to keep rail degradation under control with these challenging conditions. Furthermore, rail grinding is a process that creates sparks, dust and a lot of heat having detrimental impacts on the environment and the rail surface. To prevent premature rail exchange rail milling has successfully been used in Europa, Asia and Australia in addition to rail grinding or as a stand-alone solution. Plasser American will bring this innovative technology to the American market and will start providing milling services by Q4 2022. |
