Voestalpine : supplies the rails and turnouts used to modernize streetcar infrastructure on Vienna’s Ringstrasse

The first stage of the Wiener Linien's maintenance work on the Ringstrasse concluded in March and involved installing 1,150 meters of track as well as several high-tech turnouts supplied by the Group. The innovative signaling and safety technology used to digitally monitor the track were also supplied by voestalpine. The next work stage is scheduled for the Pentecost long weekend. This will involve laying another 800 meters or more of high-quality rails, as well as additional turnouts and diamond crossings.

'As a long-term Wiener Linien partner, voestalpine rail infrastructure systems are in use throughout Vienna's public transport system. In addition to high-quality components such as rails and turnouts, intelligent complete solutions for digitally monitoring track and rolling stock are increasingly in demand,' adds Franz Kainersdorfer. voestalpine also plays a significant role in realizing mass transit projects worldwide. The most recent orders include deliveries for the construction of streetcar and subway routes in major cities including Doha (Katar), Panama City (Panama), Bangkok (Thailand), Quito (Ecuador), Ho-Chi-Minh-City (Vietnam), Taipeh (Taiwan), Sydney and Canberra (Australia), and Ouagla and Constantine (Algeria).
