Conventional lines carry most of the the world's rail traffic, connecting cities and regions across passenger and freight networks. Pandrol defines the industry standard for mainline railway infrastructure, supplying conventional rail track fastening systems, aluminothermic welding, and track maintenance solutions engineered to perform on rail networks in more than 100 countries.
Conventional lines carry a mix of intercity rail, regional passenger and freight traffic, often on infrastructure that has been in service for decades. Balancing that traffic growth against a fixed track network puts pressure on maintenance planning; every possession taken to inspect, renew or repair track reduces the capacity available for services. Many networks are now entering rail track renewal cycles to replace ageing components, but doing so without disrupting passenger and freight schedules is a is a significant operational challenge.
Fixed track possession windows that limit how much rail track renewal and maintenance work can be completed without disrupting services.
Mixed passenger and freight traffic placing uneven, high-frequency loads on the conventional rail track fastening systems.
Rising pressure to extend intercity rail life and reduce lifecycle costs across networks spanning multiple generations of track design.
Meeting evolving safety, noise and environmental standards while keeping day-to-day operations running without interruption or delay.

Conventional LinesThe State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is currently undertaking a major track doubling project to change railways from single (bi-directional) to double-track lines. This presented an opportunity to tackle an ongoing issue with flooding on a stretch of the Northern Line from Lopburi to Pak Nam Pho, where traditional ballasted tracks are regularly underwater or washed away during the rainy season from June to November.

Did you know?
Pandrol has manufactured so many rail fastenings over its history that if you lined them all up, you would have enough to build a railway track that stretches all the way from the Earth to the Moon (and we are currently working on the return trip!).
