Railways for Other Industrial Sectors

Rail Infrastructure for Other Sectors

We design, build and maintain railways for any operation that uses rail. In addition to steel, food, automotive, dry bulk and gas, we work with these sectors:

Chemical industry: tracks to receive and ship tank cars and hopper cars carrying chemical products.
Manufacturing: spurs that connect the plant to the main line.
Logistics terminals: receiving, storage and transloading tracks for logistics operators.
Urban transit: track assembly and special trackwork for metro and light rail.

What We Do on Every Project

We cover the full track life cycle, regardless of the sector. The railroad handles the transportation; we build and take care of the infrastructure.

Design, Engineering and Permits

Conceptual and detailed design, drawings and permits. Includes technical and economic feasibility studies and the procedures to connect to the main line.

Preventive and Corrective Maintenance

Scheduled inspections to prevent downtime. We check track geometry, gauge (the distance between rails), fastenings, ballast and drainage. We also perform ultrasonic rail inspection.

Track Construction

Spurs, yards, terminals and concrete-embedded track. Includes earthworks, drainage, turnouts, thermite welding and rail destressing.

Materials and Railcar Movers

Track material through Rail Depot and railcar movers through Rail Movers. For in-plant switching, we offer Shuttlewagon railcar movers, for which we are the exclusive representative in Mexico.

How We Start a Project in a New Sector

Green covered hopper railcar for food products

We start by understanding the operation before proposing the track. We review:

Cargo and car type: what is received or shipped and in which cars. This defines the track and the unloading system.
Volume and frequency: how many cars per week. This defines the length of the tracks.
Available space: land, access points and feasible curves within the property.
Rail connection: the tie-in point with the main line and the permits it requires.

Chemical Industry

Cars carrying chemical products need track in good condition in front of the unloading area. We follow each plant’s work permits and access rules.

Logistics Terminals

A logistics operator depends on railcar turnover. We design receiving and storage tracks so the terminal does not become congested.

Urban Transit

On metro and light rail lines, we handle track assembly, plinth casting (concrete bases that support the rail) and special trackwork assembly.

Projects in Other Sectors
