Our new \u2018RE\u2019 SYSTEM, which dramatically reduces re-railing time for concrete sleepers, has been shortlisted in the Product Innovation category of the prestigious UK Rail Industry Awards (UKRIA) and the Technical Innovation category in the Rail Business Awards.<\/p>\n
The Pandrol \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM was selected from amongst hundreds of entries for its time and efficiency savings as it minimises track infrastructure downtime and allows more work to be done within a single possession, as well as enhancing the safety, ergonomics and efficiency of the contractors undertaking the re-railing work.<\/p>\n
Gavin Livie, UK Market Manager at Pandrol, explains: \u201cThe \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM is a rail fastening innovation that has been designed to increase the output rates during the re-railing process, as well as improving the longevity and durability of rail fastening components on older types of concrete sleeper.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted that the \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM has been shortlisted in these industry leading awards.\u00a0 It will bring huge benefits to rail track operators as it has been proven in trials to reduce installation time by as much as 35 per cent, as well as significantly reducing the number of components required. Another benefit is that very little product training is required for installation of the \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM, which can also be retrofitted on existing Pandrol e-clip and PR clip concrete sleepers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He adds: \u201cWe expect that with increasing adoption of the new system, there will be a significant contribution to reducing the cost of maintaining the railway network both in the UK and globally.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM features a composite pad which centralises the rail in the rail seat during the threading and clipping process. The flexibility of the \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM also means that rail pads can be provided in different materials and stiffness where required, such as EVA, or studded rubber.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Re\u2019 SYSTEM follows the design of the Pandrol FASTCLIP System in providing a two-part electrical insulator concept, but reduces the number of components from five per rail seat to just three: two Pandrol Re clips with integral toe insulator and one rail pad with integral side post insulators.<\/p>\n
The final awards event for the UK Rail Industry Awards is set to take place on 22nd March 2018 at Battersea Evolution in London and for the Rail Business Awards at London Hilton Hotel on Park Lane on February 22nd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our new \u2018RE\u2019 SYSTEM, which dramatically reduces re-railing time for concrete sleepers, has been shortlisted in the Product Innovation category of the prestigious UK Rail Industry Awards (UKRIA) and the Technical Innovation category in the Rail Business Awards.
