CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR OF RAILWAYS
Go Track’s main operating areas are railway construction and repair. We operate in Estonia and Finland. We offer a full service for the construction of tracks, from engineering to superstructure fittings. We have long-standing experience in the field as well as the special machinery and equipment needed to carry out the work, such as wagons, cranes, levelling, lining and tamping machines, a ballast regulator and rolling stock. We have the right skills to build tracks of different widths, including for the Rail Baltica route. We work with state-of-the-art technologies that are optimal in the circumstances, valuing innovation and eco-friendliness. We were the first to use limestone waste leftover from oil shale extraction in the construction of railway superstructures, thereby supporting circular economy and reducing our environmental footprint.
RAILWAY MAINTENANCE
Our daily activities include railway maintenance to keep trains running safely and smoothly. Our maintenance teams have been given the appropriate special training and have been equipped with all of the necessary equipment. We provide comprehensive maintenance services after construction and repair work, carry out snow control on the railways and keep communication and protection systems in good condition.
CONSTRUCTION OF LEVEL CROSSINGS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
We provide a complete solution for the construction of level crossings and pedestrian crossings. We use timber structures, asphalt as well as rubber or concrete slabs for constructing railway crossings, depending on the customer’s preference. Our experience in the design and construction of communication and safety systems also allows us to install barriers and automatic traffic light signalling systems on level crossings.
ELECTRIC HEATING OF TRACK POINTS
Fitting track points with electric heating ensures that trains run smoothly even in winter weather conditions, keeping them clear of ice and snow. Several railway stations across Estonia already use our track point heating system. The system is operated by controllers that draw input from sensors. The system also keep track of weather forecast data so as to anticipate unfavourable weather conditions that could cause track point elements to freeze rapidly. In stations with insufficient power, we have also programmed the controller to handle power distribution.
THERIMITE WELDING OF RAILS
By welding rails together, we can prolong their life-span and enable rolling stock to move in a smoother and less noisy manner. Rail welding requires excellent professional skills and experience. Welders must also be familiar with the technology used to release the stress on the rails in order to avoid excessive expansion and contraction in heat and cold. Our thermite welders have long-term work experience and are specialists in their field, having welded thousands of rails in Estonia, Finland and Latvia.
