Tell me why you need this? After years of analyzing the most common problems within the rail infrastructure, we know that the transition between sections of different track construction is one of the top issues. These transitions frequently develop defects during operation, causing disruptions and safety concerns. So, how to ensure a seamless transition without compromising on quality or efficiency? 🛤️ This universal transition module, invented by Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group is a game-changer in the world of rail infrastructure, that comes with a simple, integrated, and sustainable solution to the problem at hand. By providing an even distribution of differential settlement between sub- and superstructures, regardless of slab track construction type, the V-TRAS module ensures smooth and reliable transitions with minimal maintenance requirements. 🚀 Now, here's the question: How this solution supports your strategic goals in rail infrastructure development? #EnablingFutureMobility #RailToZero #Sustainability #LessMaintenance #MoreValue #ProblemSolving #Innovation #Collaboration ___ 👍 Like if you find value, re-post ♻️, and follow for more inspiration, interesting rail, and innovation insights.

The Real Story Behind the Standard (Stephenson) Rail Gauge Did you know the standard railway gauge of 4 feet 8.5 inches wasn't determined by ancient Roman chariots or the width of horse-drawn wagons? It's a popular idea, but an urban myth. The true origin of this seemingly odd measurement traces back to early 19th-century England. Pioneering engineer George Stephenson standardized this gauge during the construction of the Stockton and Darlington Railway and later the famous Liverpool and Manchester Railway. His choice was influenced by the gauge used in the coal mines of northern England, specifically the Killingworth Colliery, where he worked on steam locomotives. Stephenson found that a gauge of 4 feet 8 inches allowed for optimal stability and performance of his locomotives. Later, he added an extra half-inch to reduce friction on curves, finalizing the gauge at 4 feet 8.5 inches. This standard was later adopted by the majority of railways in the UK and eventually became the global standard. Did you know all of the freight and passenger rail infrastructure in North America is built on this standard? _____ As the leading Proposal Management specialists in the civil infrastructure market, Mission Critical is the pivotal force behind companies winning their first CMGC, D-B, PD-B, P3, Federal, and JOC pursuits.

This week in PTAANZ’s #TopTransportNews - Critical steps are underway for Australia’s High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, with nearly 30 boreholes being drilled in New South Wales to support geotechnical investigations. These investigations, conducted by the High Speed Rail Authority (Australia) (HSRA), are essential for determining the route of the first stage of the HSR network, connecting Sydney and Newcastle. This project is poised to reshape Australia’s transport landscape, offering quick, convenient, and sustainable travel options. The Federal Government’s investment in HSR will not only link major cities and regional communities but also create new job and lifestyle opportunities, aligning with broader goals of economic development and low-emission transport. Infrastructure Minister Catherine King emphasized the transformative potential of high-speed rail for regional Australia, noting its role in supporting a growing population and providing more choices in where people live, work, and study. With $500 million committed for planning and corridor protection, the Sydney to Newcastle section represents a significant advancement in the nation’s infrastructure strategy. The business case for this stage is expected by the end of the year. Supporting long distance, sustainable transport options is critical in achieving mode shift and will drive the industry towards further decarbonisation.  Read more here - https://bit.ly/3yZVFaK  #PublicTransport #HighSpeedRail #Infrastructure #SydneyNewcastle #TransportInnovation #Sustainability #PTAANZ
