Evraz to supply rails for Moscow metro

Russian mining and steel producing company Evraz Group has announced that it has signed a five-year rail delivery contract with Moscow Metro to supply 60,000 mt of rails, fully covering the metro’s needs and remaining its key supplier.

 

For the metro line, Evraz will produce contact rails, track switches and increased-durability head-hardened rails, including 100 meters long. In January this year, the new long rails were laid into an underground track for the first time, now enabling Moscow Metro to improve its track maintenance efficiency.

 

Evraz is the key supplier of rails for metro rail systems in Russia. Furthermore, in 2015 Evraz expanded the geography of its rail deliveries, supplying rails for the Tashkent metro in Uzbekistan.
