IEME Brasil sets up a laboratory for the approval of railway components
By: Webtranspo newsroom
In partnership with the Structural Laboratory of the School of Engineering at USP São Carlos, IEME Brasil Engenharia Consultativa is setting up a laboratory for the approval of subway-railway components for permanent tracks. According to the company, approval is a procedure designed to attest whether the components of a given manufacturer meet the technical and quality requirements.
In general, the product is subjected to real conditions of use to evaluate its performance. On site, elastomeric materials and permanent track components will be tested, such as fixings, AMVs – track changing devices and sleepers. In the case of permanent subway-railway components, the tests are established by national and international regulatory bodies.
“The laboratory will be the first in Brazil to carry out static and dynamic tests defined in international technical standards in materials for attenuating vibrations in metro-railways, tests that were previously carried out only outside the country”, says Marco Juliani, engineer and director of IEME Brasil.
