Design, Supply, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance of Railway Testing Systems
What the buyer wrote
The high speed rail Infrastructure Testing Facility (ITF) is an outdoor structure for the testing of railway track components and earth embankments. The testing rig will incorporate hydraulic actuators located on a reaction beam, to apply downward dynamic vertical loads onto stationary embankment structures. The reaction beam will be 10 m long and its vertical position changeable between heights of 0-3 m (via a guide and motive system), to accommodate the testing of different embankment heights. Once locked in position, vertical forces will be generated by actuators spaced at 0,65 m centres along its length, meaning the beam must have sufficient vertical stiffness to allow for the precise an…
