Railways have propelled global trade and traffic to the top by providing affordable, convenient means for transporting goods and people. But these are the railway track components that can be referred to as the very core of this critical rail infrastructure. As a market leader in the railway sector, HEIL has always been a trailblazer focusing on offering superior quality parts designed to maximise the safety, reliability, and effectiveness of rail systems. In this blog, let’s discuss the innovation offered and the quality standard maintained by HEIL regarding its impulses towards the railway industry.
Rails are long metal bars which offer a flat and unbroken surface for plain-bearing trains. HEIL launched Cast Manganese Steel (CMS) Crossings in 1984, which were quite popular for their powerful and wear-resistant nature. In the past few years, HEIL has provided and installed more than 50 thousand CMS Crossings of different sizes, in different countries including North America.
One of the latest major innovations in rail technology by HEIL is Weldable CMS Crossings. These crossings can be welded using sophisticated tools to make the crossings stronger and lasting. This is quite advantageous to projects in which HEIL provides explosives-hardened weldable CMS Crossings, to satisfy compliance with urban rail demand.
This refers to the alignment of the tracks for the ability of the train to smoothly move along the intended track without being hindered by any substandard track formation. HEIL manufactures its permanent way components in such a way that they conform to track geometry specifications. This includes problems associated with keeping equal gauges, having level rails on straight alignments and correct super-elevation on curved alignments. Through imposing these standards, HEIL sees to it that management, as well as the operation of trains, follows an appropriate and secure pattern.
The Permanent Way Section in HEIL has equipped the facilities for head hardening, which improves the service characteristics of rails in terms of wear and deformation. This innovation enhances the longevity and safety of the rails; to ensure they can stand the intense usage being subjected to. This commitment presented by HEIL assures its railway components are instrumental in the formation of a stable and efficient rail transportation system.
Besides the conventional parts, HEIL also manufactures modern Canted Turnouts, which are utilized for high-speed transportation following what is adopted in the developed countries. This kind of turnout is useful for the safe operation of the high-speed rail tracks which shows the company’s dedication towards enhancing railway technology.
This is the journey of HEIL in the railway industry since it started the business of manufacturing with innovation, quality and commitment towards excellence. With the introduction of CMS Crossings to Weldable CMS Crossings and other complex components of the track, HEIL has always gone forward in exploring the possibilities of railway infrastructure. Thus HEIL continues to stand as committed to offering the components that sustain this growth, lasting railways constructed for security, stability, and efficiency for the future.
