Descriptions

Network Rail is seeking to understand market interest and readiness to deliver an automated solution for identifying Stress-Free Temperature (SFT) across its continuously welded rail (CWR) infrastructure.

 

Track buckling due to thermal stress remains a critical safety risk. Network Rail seeks a reliable, automated method to measure SFT across its CWR network to support preventative maintenance and asset management.
