Mermec Group has won a contract from RailCorp, the rail operator in New South Wales, Australia to supply a fleet of diagnostic vehicles.
Under the €15m contract Mermec will supply two self-propelled 130km/h ROGER 800 diagnostic vehicles with an option to purchase a third vehicle of the same type by the end of 2011.
The diagnostic vehicles will feature no-contact optoelectronic measurement systems – track and overhead line geometry, rail profile, rail corrugation.
The vehicles will assist in the analysis of infrastructure, to systematically monitor its deterioration over time and to single out any flaws or defects on its 1,600km of rail lines.
