High Vibration and Stress
With
trains moving along at extreme and high speeds, the integrity of the track and cars is paramount.
With applications for track construction, maintenance and signalling systems, reliable fasteners are integral to ensuring smooth operations and preventing catastrophic accidents.
Regulations and standards govern every aspect of railway construction and maintenance including
stringent requirements dictating the selection of materials, dimensions and installation methods.
Compliance with these standards is non-negotiable, as the safety of passengers and freight alike depends on the integrity of every fastener.
Swagefast concludes that it continues to “lead the way in innovative fastening solutions”.
