Enhanced rail repairs could improve the safety, productivity and reliability of Australia's hundred billion dollar mining industry, according to research by ESAB.

With a single train typically carrying a load of 30,000t+, the timely repair of rails is crucial to safety and financial return.Weld failure can reverse any savings that can come from choosing on-site rail repair over rail replacement. ESAB's research paper offers a range of solutions.

The paper analyses the benefits of highly-portable, mechanised welding systems which allow rapid repairs and precise control over key welding parameters, such as heat-input, so delivering immediate and long-term productivity benefits.
