Double the lifespan. Withstand high frequency train operations. Equipped with cold hole expansion and an insulated and waterproof coating. These are just a few of the functional requirements from the performance contract with the Dutch Rail infrastructure manager. The NRG joint has been used for years now without any problems. The vulnerability of IRJs to wear and tear has for many years been one of the major causes of malfunction of the railway infrastructure. This is why our new IRJ had to comply with a huge number of requirements. These issues have been successfully tackled, which has resulted in an high-performance product. A completely refurbished design and the development of various new elements have resulted in a model with a remarkable lifespan. The NRG joint has been successfully applied in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom. The new glued Insulated Rail Joint is able to absorb the wave motions of the rail ensuing from the driving dynamics of the train. It moves, so to speak, in the same way as the rail, a property which has formed the basis for our new product’s name: eNeRGy joint (NRG). Next Impressive test results The high quality of the NRG joint is convincingly demonstrated by the results of multiple extensive tests, known to be the toughest in the world. An unprecedented amount of bending and tensile tests has shown that our NRG joints can be exposed to extreme forces for prolonged periods of time. Key benefits: » Highest withstand of deflections without any damage (> 16 million deflection with 3 mm) » No hazard from micro cracking in holes due to cold hole expansion » The adoption of the NRG significantly decreases the tracks’ life cycle costs (LCCs) » The NRG joint has been designed as a single model that can be used on all major track structures » Coating is waterproof and resistant of UV, road salt, and sea water (least corrosion) » Coating prevents sticking of iron grinding chips and splinters (no installation of magnets necessary) » The NRG joint is designed to fit within the space envelope specified for mechanical tamping & grinding/milling machines » Sleeper distance from 300/600/750mm The NRG joint is the newest generation of a bonded insulated rail joint, that is pre-assembled at the factory in Hilversum (the Netherlands) in climate controlled conditions.
