Rail Infrastructure for Steel Plants
We design, build and maintain the railways that move steel into and out of a plant. A steel mill track carries heavy axle loads and operates alongside cranes, warehouses and unloading yards. That is why our engineering starts with the load, the railcar flow and the switching space.
We have more than 15 years of experience in industrial rail projects in Mexico. We work with steel plants in Nuevo León and Guanajuato.
What We Do for the Steel Industry
We cover the complete track life cycle: design, construction, maintenance and material supply. Each service responds to a specific decision at the plant.
How We Plan a Track for Steel
We plan the track based on the plant’s actual operation. Before designing, we review:
- Product: coiled steel, plate, rebar or scrap. Each one requires a different type of unloading.
- Unloading equipment: overhead crane, gantry crane or forklift. It defines the layout of the spurs.
- Railcar flow: how many railcars come in and go out per day. It defines the length of the receiving and shipping tracks.
- Railroad connection: the interchange point with the mainline and the permits it requires.
A short receiving track forces the train to be split and requires more switching moves.
We size the tracks so the plant can receive and ship without delays.
The unloading spur is aligned with the crane and the warehouse. A well-designed track reduces railcar movements and risk to personnel.
When production grows, the yard becomes the bottleneck. We develop alternatives to expand capacity without stopping operations.
