Innovative and holistic solution approach to ensure operational safety.

From discovering a problem in the course of a track inspection to providing full support during repair - a challenge for Sersa's specialised teams.

 

Since 2019, Sersa has been responsible for the overall maintenance of the Glattalbahn, which covers around 26 kilometres of track. A quarterly inspection of the track revealed a number of places where grass was accumulating particularly heavily. After excavation and examination with various partners within the RSRG, a comprehensive repair concept was developed and implemented. In addition to the replacement of damaged sleepers, a system was developed to grout the damaged areas of the track panel with a special epoxy resin-based injection plastic during breaks in the night. To obtain early indications of possible points of damage, ARGE FahrwegDiagnose carried out a single-point measurement on the route network. Thanks to the close cooperation within the RSRG, operational safety was ensured at all times and there were no interruptions in railway operations.
