About Cold ExpansionRailway track is continually subjected to high cyclictensile loads generated by the passage of rollingstock over joints. Flexing and displacement of rails atbolted joints, combine to induce high tensile loads atthe bolt hole which often generates fatigue cracks. Ifleft undetected, these fatigue induced cracks can leadto fractures which in extreme cases could cause trainderailment. The cracking of rail-end bolt holes hasbeen a major concern for years and a cause ofpremature rail replacement, imposition of speedrestrictions and is a significant factor in rail inspectionand maintenance costs. Increased rolling stock loadsand heavier rail traffic has made it even moreessential to eliminate fatigue cracks and preventpotential costly derailments. Fatigue Technology’s(FTI) RailTec System substantially increases the life ofbolted rail by shielding bolt holes from the stressesthat cause cracks and failure. FTI’s system hassuccessfully extended the life of bolt holes in metalstructures for over 25 years.

l Improves the fatigue life of a hole by at least 300%

l Arrests the growth of small cracks

l Cost-effective alternative to replacement track

l Reduces maintenance and inspection costs

l Increases overall structural integrity and safety of the line

We are able to offer a specially adapted rail drillwhich has vertical and horizontal axes adjustmentsand comes complete with a range of tools foropening out bolt holes. The drill can be used for thefollowing applications:

Drilling 30mm holes in new track

Expanding undersize holes to 30mm

Expanding bolt holes in existing track prior to coldexpansion with three size options: 31mm; 32mm;33mm.

The drill and tooling eliminates the use of a Benklerrail drill, tapered bridge reamers and trolley mountedswivel jib. We also offer training on how to use ColdExpansion Equipment.
