PROVIDING A TECHNICAL SERVICE
Over and above using our technical capability to support and develop our production programme, we can offer a range of skills and expertise to support our clients' development of specifications and products. For more information about our technical services, please contact prsuk.sales@ progressrail.com.
SWITCH PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION
Using our in-house analysis tools, we can fine-tune the flexural behaviour of switch rails – increasing reliability through reducing the effort required from the points operating equipment to position the rails.
MECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Assessment of product lifecycle, expected performance and operation and maintenance requirements using; classical techniques, Finite Element Analysis, practical testing
and empirical data from over 100 years of manufacturing experience.
PRODUCT DESIGN
Using our 3D CAD software, we create and assure product designs that are optimised for manufacture. Our designers are experienced in products suited to the demands of a wide range of railway environments.
CAST MANGANESE PRODUCTS
Modelling, Machining, Methods and Metallurgy: Our engineers have the tools, skills and experience to design cast manganese products from concept through all stages of the manufacturing process to deliver geometries and structures that exceed the criteria expected of them from rail standards around the world.
