Effective solution for safer and more resilient railway infrastructure

Recent events in Europe have highlighted the vulnerability of railway infrastructure to both sabotage and accidental damage to exposed signalling, power and communication cables installed in e.g. troughing or above ground.

Effective solution for safer and more resilient railway infrastructure

To strengthen resilience and safeguard critical transport systems, solutions are needed that protect safety-critical infrastructure and ensure reliable railway operations.

Installation of cables in the railway embankment not only reduces the risk of sabotage, but also minimises weather-related damage and disruptions. This leads to increased network availability, greater safety for passengers, and a transport system better prepared for future challenges.

By moving cables below ground, railway operators gain higher operational reliability, shorter disruptions, and improved capacity utilisation. Railcare's high vacuum excavation technology enables this work to be carried out quickly, efficiently and with minimal impact on ongoing railway operations. Tracks remain fully operational immediately after installation, without damage to existing infrastructure or other buried services.

"We see a clear opportunity for the railway industry to enhance both safety and robustness by moving cables into the railway embankment. The growing focus on national security and resilience underscores the need to act proactively", says Jonny Granlund, Business Area Manager at Railcare.

This is proven technology, developed and field-tested over decades in real railway operations. The method delivers powerful, efficient and precise results while remaining gentle on both infrastructure, other buried services and the working environment. With a fully operational crew of just two machine operators, complex tasks such as an under-track crossing, for e.g. cables or pipes can be completed within just minutes. The Railcare high vacuum excavation method is equally effective for reballasting on bridges, in tunnels, in switches, in multiple track areas, and reballasting wet bed areas, while maintaining rails or sleepers in their original position.

"Our ambition is to contribute to a safer, more modern and future-proof railway infrastructure, where innovative technology supports both reliability and security", Jonny concludes.
