Rail Infrastructure for Gas and Hydrocarbons
We design, build and maintain railway tracks for LPG plants, fuel terminals and energy companies. At these plants, tank cars arrive loaded with hazardous materials. A track with geometry defects or a fractured rail is a risk to the plant and to the surrounding community.
We have more than 15 years of experience in industrial railway projects in Mexico.
What We Do for the Gas and Hydrocarbons Sector
We cover the complete track life cycle: design, construction, maintenance and materials supply. The railroad handles the transportation; we build and maintain the track where tank cars are unloaded.
How We Plan a Track at a Gas or Fuel Plant
We plan the track together with the plant’s unloading area and safety rules.
Before designing, we review:
- Unloading area: location of the unloading islands or connection points. The track must be level in front of each connection point.
- Cars on hold: how many tank cars are stored inside the plant. This defines the length of the tracks.
- Access and crossings: grade crossings with internal roads and emergency routes.
- Railroad connection: the tie-in point with the main line and the permits it requires.
A derailment inside a gas plant has far greater consequences than in other industries. Scheduled inspection detects defects before they turn into incidents.
A car poorly positioned at the unloading point delays unloading and forces maneuvers to be repeated.
The track is designed to position each car without corrections.
We supply track material through Rail Depot. To position cars inside the plant, we offer Shuttlewagon railcar movers through Rail Movers; we are their exclusive representatives in Mexico.
