Ever wondered what goes on beneath the surface of major railway projects?

Last week, we got the chance to find out firsthand during the DAL Rail Conference’s guided tour of “Stuttgart 21”!

Here are three insights from the tour:

  1. Seeing how Stuttgart 21 connects trains and cities highlighted the importance of integrated urban development in transportation systems. This project seamlessly integrates rail, urban spaces, and environmental considerations, showing the way for sustainable city growth.
  2. We were amazed by the cutting-edge technologies driving the project forward. From groundbreaking tunneling methods to futuristic signaling systems, embracing these advancements is crucial for shaping the future of mobility.
  3. By seamlessly connecting major cities and regions, we can unlock new opportunities for businesses and individuals, while reducing carbon footprint.

At PROSE, we believe all of the above is a big part of shaping tomorrow’s mobility. We are eager to provide you, and our society, with reliable customised solutions.

Assessment of cracks and crack growth

“Will this crack also ultimately lead to a fracture and possibly to a critical system failure?“ A question often asked, as soon as a crack is detected in a load-bearing part of a railway vehicle.

At PROSE, we approach every challenge with a keen eye for potential risks. With powerful tools and our expertise, we not only tackle this question but are also able to assess possible causes of the crack and investigate the exact loading and crack propagation of the defect. This enables to react before a crack becomes critical.

With our gained knowledge from the specific crack evaluations and the many years of experience in the railway sector and repair solutions, PROSE can support you in taking further measures to maintain or reinstate the safe operation of your vehicle or component.

Don’t let a crack break your enthusiasm for tomorrow’s mobility. Contact us now!
