high repair costs and production down time.
A neglected rail track : consequences ?
Damage :
• to the rail ➞ wear, bending and breaks;
• to the fixings ➞ loosening, breaks, ...
• to the support ➞ bending and cracking of the steel girders, concrete crumbling and becoming loose.
generated by :
• stresses applied to rail, fixings and support;
• rail movement acting on fixing elements;
• under-sizing of one or more rail track elements.
The rail track : a specialists' business ?
