The RRVs listed below offer a taste of the solutions offered by Railway Infrastructure Projects. These specialised vehicles enable clients to effectively carry out their own routine maintenance and deal with emergency situations quickly and effectively.
Vegetation Control RRVs
The first rule of railway safety is to keep the tracks clear and safe. Vegetation on or around rail infrastructure, be it grass, reeds or other types of foliage, can pose a serious safety hazard and impact the efficient functioning of railways.
Bridge Inspection RRVs
A vital part of any railway system, bridges often pose a safety concern as their positioning can make close inspection difficult. Railway Infrastructure Projects’ railroad vehicles can be used to assess the safety and structural integrity of railroad bridges from below. This safeguards trains, passengers and maintenance crews while ensuring thorough checks can be carried out.
Rescue RRVs
With so many moving parts required to work in harmony, there are times when unscheduled incidents require switch support measures. When emergencies happen, Railway Infrastructure can provide clients with swift and crucial support in the form of rescue RRVs. These vehicles are essential in situations such as derailments and to clear tracks, thus preventing further incidents.
Bridge Inspection RRVs
Railway Infrastructure Projects manufactures these unique RRVs, which are used to clear railroads of dangerous snowfalls that can even cause derailment in extreme cases. Modifications can be undertaken to these vehicles to adapt them for vegetation control and for clearing sand off and around tracks.
