Built to perform in demanding urban environments
We support urban transit systems that are growing faster, working harder and demanding more every day. Across urban transit networks. we develop solutions that help our customers build, operate and maintain safe, efficient and resilient rail infrastructure in some of the world’s most complex cities.
We specialise in the design, manufacture and implementation of fastenings, welding, and track maintenance equipment. Our focus is on making installation and operation simpler, safer and more productive - reducing possession times, improving lifecycle performance and helping teams work with confidence on site.
From ballasted and non‑ballasted track forms to embedded and slab applications, our systems are designed to perform reliably under demanding operating conditions, addressing real‑world challenges such as noise and vibration, track durability and long‑term maintenance.
With global experience across diverse transit networks, including metro, tram, and light rail, we adapt our solutions to meet local environments and regional or global standards. Where projects call for a specialised solution, we work closely with contractors and end users to respond to specific design considerations - including track structure interaction, corrosion protection, special track work, adjustment requirements and bespoke developments. Through this collaborative approach, we help our customers deliver urban transit systems that are built for today and ready for what comes next.
Our products
In the Pandrol FTrack system, the rail is fastened by discretely supporting rail fixations and embedded by FT ENCAPSULATION – resilient rail-web filler profiles.
FTrack
Limit corrugation and vibration problems caused by the major dynamic forces generated by passing trains with Pandrol Bonded Baseplates.
Bonded Baseplates
Characteristics, metrics analysed, SonicVizio-WS-S is a lightweight system used in rail flaw detection on any type of track. Equipped with a 5 angled probe 40/70/0TR/40/70°,
it allows the detection and characterization of internal defects inside rail, weld and all components of the track.

Pandrol’s SD-SEE is ideal for use on concrete slab tracks in tramway and urban rail applications, where light structures and fast construction is needed.
SD-SEE
The Pandrol Vanguard rail fastening makes it particularly useful for addressing ground-borne, or secondary, noise and vibration issues in sensitive urban environments.
Vanguard
The process involves casting molten steel (produced through the reaction of iron oxide and aluminium) at a temperature exceeding 3,500 ˚F (1,950 °C) into refractory moulds designed to the rail specification.
Grooved Rail Welding
The Pandrol Clamp Beam Balise Mounting System is used to install balises (transponders) into track securely and efficiently.
Clamp Beam
The Pandrol Floating Slab Mat (FSM) is a high-performing vibration attenuation floating slab system. Easy to install, maintenance free and compatible with all types of rail and track systems, it has been designed to reduce the lifecycle costs of the railway.
Floating Slab Mat
Pandrol’s NABLA Tram Rail Fastening is a cost-effective fastening system designed for trams and light rail systems. Comprised of a lightweight plastic baseplate and Pandrol’s reliable NABLA Evolution components, this fastening system combines ease of application with high performance to deliver impressive results every time.
NABLA Tram
The system, when installed in concrete, provides support to all sides of the rail and allows stringent vertical and lateral support criteria to be met, and at the same time offers vibratory and electrical decoupling from its surroundings.
QTrack®
Focus: Urban transit
With over 50% of the world’s population now living in cities there has never been more of a need for safe, efficient and cost effective solutions to deliver integrated urban transit. We have been working with customers around the world to overcome the challenges of developing urban transit solutions to keep cities moving.
