Improvement of Aluminothermic Weld Performance With Innovative Air Quenching
Heavy Haul Solutions
Our Sustainable Resilient systems are made from 90% recycled tyres, they increase track elasticity by increasing the contact area between ballast and sleeper, extending the life of the track, lowering our customers’ carbon footprint and reducing life-cycle cost.
Sustainable Resilient Systems
Our welding product helps welders get more done, quicker. Our accessories and equipment also make the welds less manual and more ergonomic, improving the overall quality and safety of rail infrastructure.
Our Pandrol Connect is a mobile app designed to support aluminothermic welders through the weld process, capture live data about the weld, save time and improve the traceability of welds for contractors and rail network operators.
Aluminothermic Welding
Our fastening systems are easier to install, require less maintenance and are proven to last longer than our competitors’. And our range of clipping machines automate the whole clipping process, making it fast and stress-free.
