Project Description
This work is part of a subcontract with the Norwegian public company BaneService AS to supply railway vehicles and specialized teams for the ballast cleaning of around 150 km of track.
The maintenance activity involves three infrastructures: the Bergen Line, the Østfold Line, linking the capital Oslo with Sweden, and the Ofoten Line, connecting the port of the city of Narvik with Sweden and serving an important freight transport flow.
Traffic is interrupted to carry out work at night with a high level of productivity for each interruption: around 800 m3 of ballast are loaded with DHS wagons made by SRT.
Scope of Work
- Supply of railway vehicles: 2 ballast cleaners, 1 tamping machine, 2 ballast regulators and 8 DHS wagons
- Supply of specialized teams (2 track levelling teams and 2 teams of DHS wagon operators)
