How RSRG’s points specialists unlock the potential of efficient maintenance.
Many operators of railway facilities – both within and outside DB Regio – follow inspection regulations that are too strict, costing them money. RSV’s “Combined Maintenance” approach provides the solution.
A common weakness in the maintenance of track systems at operating facilities and stabling yards within depot boundaries is the application of incorrect inspection regulations. Inspections are often carried out in accordance with DB InfraGO guidelines that are too stringent, potentially resulting in unnecessary outages. The specialists at RSV, the RSRG joint venture with Vossloh, deliberately apply the correct requirements, thereby ensuring a precise, efficient and legally compliant assessment of the condition of the facilities.
The specialists also combine this cost-effective approach with a predictive, forward-looking strategy. This means that defects are identified at an early stage, before they develop into more serious damage. This is supported by RSV’s proven “Inspect & Act” approach, which continuously identifies and analyses maintenance potential and addresses it according to urgency. This minimises operational restrictions and consistently prevents downtime.
Numerous DB railway depots, as well as other private and industrial customers, already rely on RSV’s Combined Maintenance concept. These include all workshops operated by DB Regio’s Central Region, several sites in Baden-Württemberg, and facilities operated by DB Vehicle Maintenance and DB Long-Distance Services. The feedback is clear – customers benefit from increased facility availability, reduced closure periods and clear, reliable cost transparency.
