This removes imperfections and defects that can cause the track surface to crack and lead to rail breakage over time. Grinding also reduces noise and vibration, decreasing the likelihood of damage to train wheels and offering greater passenger comfort. Our rail and turnout grinding services meet the specific needs of tram, metro and rail transport. Preventive grinding This is mainly performed on new tracks, to remove any patina from oxidization and render the rolling surface homogeneous, in order to slow down any mechanical wear. Corrective grinding This maintenance activity is essential to prevent defects through operation (corrugation of the rolling surface, small cracks, head checks and flattening of the curved profile), to restore the original shape and proper friction of the rails. Flexible, high productivity solutions We carry out work on many kinds of infrastructures, both on conventional and high-speed lines, on ballasted and ballastless track, turnouts and lines, including those with a narrow curve radius and counterrails. Our high tech, highly productive machines, equipped with sophisticated diagnostic equipment, allow rapid intervention at night with an interrupted service. Thanks to our extensive experience in railway construction and the synergy between our Group companies, we have developed innovative, high performance grinding trains that offer effective, specialized solutions for various kinds of infrastructure, to meet all our customers’ needs.
