INFRASTRUCTURE

Railway track maintenance is a strategic field that ensures the safety, performance, and continuity of rail traffic. Track maintenance activities encompass a range of interventions aimed at guaranteeing the quality of the railway network and the safety of operations.

The SNTF carries out regular, scheduled, and exceptional maintenance operations, performed by specialized technical teams using appropriate equipment.

Track Works

Inspections and periodic checks of track conditions, verification of switch systems, and detection of deformations and anomalies.

These operations ensure the proper functioning of train movements, particularly during changes of direction on railway routes.

They aim to anticipate corrective interventions, maintain smooth traffic flow, and reduce the risk of incidents caused by wear, impacts, or mechanical disruptions.

Regular maintenance work aimed at sustaining infrastructure performance.

These operations help prevent premature wear of rails and equipment, ensure smooth and safe train operations, and reduce the risk of incidents or malfunctions.

They also include the inspection and adjustment of switches, checking rail joints and sleepers, as well as cleaning drains and drainage systems to prevent water accumulation and ballast deterioration

The main objective is to ensure a rapid return to normal operations while adhering to railway safety standards.

These actions require continuous coordination between control centers, maintenance crews, mechanical support units, and specialized teams located along the network.

Emergency interventions are carried out 24/7, including under challenging conditions and in remote areas, to ensure the safety of train operations and prevent any prolonged service interruptions.

Heavy works aimed at improving the capacity, durability, and safety of the track.

Complete renewal of sections, ballast reinforcement, replacement of rails, sleepers, and track devices, introduction of new technologies, and adaptation to modern standards.

These operations help increase train speed, comfort, and punctuality, while reducing long-term maintenance costs
