Benefits of Pandrol rail fastening systems

Rail fastening systems connect rails to different trackforms. They play a critical role in the safety and longevity of railway tracks and provide important performance features to minimise track maintenance and maximise lifetime value.

✔  Reduce vibration

Where required, Pandrol systems can deal with harmful vibration which can lead to high levels of secondary noise and vibration, a range of options exist to mitigate different vibration frequencies.

✔  Achieve cost-effective maintenance

Increase the life cycle of the track and reduce the need for maintenance by optimising materials to match with the environment and operating conditions.

✔  Boost reliability

Our systems help keep the railways safe and available for train operations, allowing minimal disruption to services for maintenance. Pandrol fasteners secure rails with high performance systems to ensure smooth and stable ride conditions for trains and rolling stock.

✔  Reducing impact to the track structure

Fastening systems absorb the impacts that trains put onto the rails, therefore distributing that pressure to the ballast and the sleepers.
