Civil Works · Bridges · Tunnels
Civil works, bridges and tunnels form the backbone of railway infrastructure across complex terrain. Suppliers in this category provide design, construction and maintenance services for structural elements such as bridges, tunnels, culverts and embankments. These works support track laying, drainage, access and long-term infrastructure stability.
-
Noise Barriers
Noise barriers reduce sound pollution from passing trains, particularly in residential or urban areas. Suppliers in this category design and manufacture acoustic barrier systems that improve environmental compliance, reduce community disruption and support the acceptance of both passenger and freight rail operations.
-
Platform Screen Doors
Platform screen doors are safety barriers installed at station platforms to separate passengers from the tracks until a train arrives. Suppliers in this category offer full-height or half-height systems that improve passenger safety, reduce track intrusion and enable climate control within underground and enclosed stations.
-
Transport Modelling, Simulation & Planning
Transport modelling, simulation and planning tools help rail operators and infrastructure managers optimise their systems and services. These solutions include passenger flow analysis, timetable planning, capacity modelling, wheel-rail interaction simulation, energy consumption modelling and operational planning. They support decision-making for new infrastructure projects, upgrades and day-to-day operations, improving efficiency, safety and passenger experience.
