“Tecnalia supports the railway sector in its evolution, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards of safety, reliability and sustainability”.
Tecnalia is responding to the challenges of the railway sector with state-of-the-art tests and technology, ensuring that every component is durable, efficient and compliant with regulations
Our multidisciplinary laboratories and team of qualified experts provide a wide range of services adapted to the requirements of the sector. Tecnalia carries out tests to specific standards to ensure that every component meets regulatory and contractual requirements.
Tecnalia also designs customised tests to evaluate the performance of materials and components depending on the particular characteristics of each project, analysing their durability and performance in real conditions to ensure that they will be reliable in operation and strong in the long-term
The railway sector faces major challenges, including compliance with increasingly stringent regulations, and the need to ensure the durability of materials, structural efficiency and noise reduction in components.
TECNALIA is very aware of these needs and contributes to each phase of railway projects, by providing advanced technological solutions that ensure reliability, safety and regulatory compliance.
Advanced testing and technology ensuring durability, efficiency and regulatory compliance
Thanks to its experience and commitment to innovation, Tecnalia is able to support the railway sector in its evolution, to ensure that every project meets the highest standards of safety, reliability and sustainability.
- It can check the structural strength and safety of each component through exhaustive mechanical testing. Tecnalia also assesses the acoustic insulation and noise reduction of key screens and components, by looking at controlling airborne and impact noise.
- It checks compliance with the EN 45545-2 and EN 45545-3standards, which are essential for railway safety, by assessing the fire performance of materials and components.
- As far as analysing failure and prevention (RCA) are concerned, Tecnalia applies root cause analysis (RCA) techniques to detect and prevent potential system failures, by minimising operational risks.
- Tecnalia guarantees the structural integrity of components by following criteria such as buildings acoustic classification and FFS/FFP, ensuring that they comply with safety standards.
