In the fiscal year 2010-2011, Alstom Transport won contracts for delivery of locomotives in Russia, Kazakhstan, regional trains in France and Sweden, very high-speed trains in Morocco, underground trains in Canada, Santo Domingo, Panama, India and Brazil and trams for France and Tunis. The most important rolling stock maintenance contracts were signed in the US, while in Europe and China, Alstom Transport signed contracts for the implementation of signalling systems. Being a sustainable transport promoter, Alstom Transport develops and delivers the most complete range of railway systems, equipments and services. As for railway infrastructure, the company delivers complete solutions for ensuring the life expectancy of products.
Urban authorities, infrastructure managers and transport operators activate in different contexts, but share the same concerns about infrastructure: they need safe railways and can rely on the improvement of performance and costs throughout the entire life expectancy while meeting the customers’ needs. In infrastructure construction and modernisation, the decision makers are analysing solutions to identify the best solution that meets the cost-quality ratio. Alstom delivers expertise in infrastructure throughout every step including design, engineering, construction, commissioning and maintenance and offers a complete range of lifecycle solutions for track, electrification and electromechanical equipment in stations and in depot.
With a length of over 2000 km of already built or under construction railway lines, Alstom delivers solutions for railways, underground and tram lines. For new tram lines, Alstom delivers the Appitrack technology which enables the company to accelerate track work and minimise worksites to reduce disruption to city life. Appitrack is an innovative process developed by Alstom for laying tracks on concrete. It can be used for light rail projects with all types of surfacing. The process involves two machines: a slipform machines which constructs the trackslab, and behind it an insertion machine which automatically positions and inserts railseats, holding down bolts in fresh concrete. By 2010, Alstom had laid over 100 km of track using the Appitrack technology.
For electrification, the company delivers full services for new and existing lines: design, installation and maintenance of catenary and power supply systems. Alstom has installed 10,000 km of catenary worldwide.
When we talk about infrastructure, we talk about rail transport system maintenance. Maintenance, logistics and services represent more than 20% of Alstom’s activity. Therefore, every maintenance programme is designed using innovative technologies that answer local needs.
