Rail maintenance and construction ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of rail networks. Maintenance involves routine tasks like inspecting and repairing tracks, clearing debris, maintaining drainage systems, and performing seasonal work such as snow removal and de-icing. This ongoing care helps prevent disruptions and extends the life of the infrastructure.
Construction includes building new rail lines or upgrading existing ones, starting with site preparation and foundation work. It involves installing tracks, bridges, tunnels, and other essential infrastructure, and integrating advanced technologies to improve efficiency and safety.
Both maintenance and construction are vital for developing and sustaining a robust and effective rail transportation system.
