Metro Hong Kong is facing a challenge because some of the tunnels in the metro network are located in a humid environment. As a result, the network manager has to deal with corrosion on the rails caused by stray currents and moisture. In its search for a solution to this problem, the company came across voestalpine Railway Systems.
As a track manager, it is important to know exactly what railwaymaterials are in the network you manage and what their condition is. These insights provide useful information for organizing preventive maintenance. Something that can be planned even more effectively if there is uniformity of products in the track. HTM (Den Hague Tram Operator) was looking for a uniform application of point machines in the RandstadRail area. We made an assessment inventory of the area for them. The insights from this assessment prompted HTM to start the conversion of its old systems to the voestalpine UNISTAR HR point machine.
