Rail turnkey competence from Siemens

Attractive, cost-effective and eco-friendly mobility solutions are needed today more than ever before. Making such transport systems a reality is an extremely complex task, which is why they are often handled on a turnkey basis. Here Siemens excels, with its vast experience and expertise in project management, systems integration, project development and financing, offering not only technically innovative systems, but also providing rail operators the world over with safe and efficient custom-made solutions.

Rail engineering and project management from a single source

When handling turnkey projects, Siemens is able to reduce the number of interfaces, streamline schedules, and so consistently cut costs. Cost-effective turnkey management begins in the planning phase, when it comes to selecting the optimal transport system or exploiting the cost-saving potential offered by existing system structures.

Throughout the project's lifetime – from conception through execution to after-sales support – all the subsystems are optimally coordinated to ensure the highest possible standards of quality and safety are met. Internationally experienced and superlatively trained, our project management team is there on the spot to act as the contact partner for the customer.

Siemens provides transparent and efficient project management, guaranteeing smooth progress and timely completion of the work, as well as maximum system availability. Very often, the result is that the project is completed ahead of schedule.

The operator takes over a turnkey system or subsystem that has already undergone thorough testing and is fully operational. Upon request, Siemens will also assume responsibility for the maintenance and technical operation of the system. Satisfied customers and over 40 successful turnkey rail projects worldwide testify to the outstanding quality of mobility solutions from Siemens.

Rail turnkey advantages at a glance

• Turnkey solutions: we take responsibility for the project from start to finish, so we can hand over a fully functioning system, ready for passenger service from day one
• Overall responsibility from a single source: all the resources needed for the project come from a single source, and we assume full responsibility for deadlines and costs, reducing the number of interfaces
• Full system integration: because we ensure all subsystems and components harmonise perfectly, we achieve optimal results in every project
• Optimal quality for projects and solutions: competent personnel, years of experience, innovative projects and, last but not least, our own test centre guarantee the highest possible safety standards and passenger acceptance
• High degree of project transparency: our project transparency makes for clear interfaces and smooth processes - for maximum efficiency
• Short project execution times, fast return on investment: thanks to our competence, delays are kept to a minimum, so you save time and benefit from a fast return on investment
• Local partners, local value added: we involve local partners to guarantee local value added
