Technical support services from a single competent source.

Professional installation support by voestalpine VAE comprises monitoring of transport and logistics, technical consulting and quality assurance, installation check, and required documentation. We endeavour to ensure a long and unhindered life cycle of turnouts and track components from delivery. Therefore, the service starts as soon as it leaves our factory for turnouts.

Minimising life-cycle costs with systems intelligence.

We pre-assemble our turnout systems at a voestalpine VAE factory, providing our customers with fully functional, modular components and turnouts to the customer site for installation just in time, minimising time delays which ultimately lowers operating costs. Furthermore, our methodology ensures higher track availability through shorter line closures. In addition, the system turnouts' high first installation quality positively influences life-cycle costs because the turnout components are pre-assembled under laboratory conditions in the factory and installed on the track in this quality condition.

Customised maintenance ensuring the availability and reliability of rail tracks and turnouts.

The demand for reduced life-cycle costs, increased availability and growing environmental awareness make track maintenance increasingly important. A customised maintenance strategy ensures the continued availability and reliability of railway tracks. Regular grinding of rail in tracks and turnouts is an integral part of a holistic maintenance strategy.

With its grinding technology for rail in tracks and turnouts, voestalpine VAE offers innovative maintenance meeting the requirements of infrastructure operators for short downtimes, cost optimisation, safety and responsible environmental protection.

Our on-track grinding machines remove unevenness of the running surface and fatigue defects due to rolling contact. In addition, these machines provide preventative and corrective maintenance, initial grinding on a rail in turnouts, connecting tracks, level crossings and other limited areas.

The availability of turnouts, including signalling components in the track, is significantly improved through grinding.

Reliable and easy maintenance optimising rail network operations.

Reliability and availability of turnouts and diamond crossings help our customers maximise the use of their routes while controlling overall costs.

Combining our innovative products with comprehensive services and track solutions is how voestalpine VAE contributes to the success of our customers. In addition, we focus on the turnout's overall maintenance, including signalling components and rails.
