ENSCO Awarded Contract to Provide Railway Measurement as a Service in Gabon

Industry leader awarded 12-month contract to provide railway track measuring equipment and training to Gabonese railway client.

ENSCO Rail (ENSCO), a leading provider in railway track inspection and measurement technology, is proud to announce it has been awarded a 12-month track geometry measurement as a service contract by the Société d’exploitation du Transgabonais (SETRAG). Through this contract, ENSCO will provide their measuring technology to SETRAG to optimize the inspection and planning of railway maintenance for its 648 km of railway lines.

Accurately measuring and planning maintenance work reduces time spent on unnecessary repairs and lessens the economic and social impacts caused by downtime. Track geometry measurement is one of the foremost methods in the rail industry for assessing track safety and planning for track maintenance. ENSCO is a leader in the industry for track geometry reliability and measurement reproducibility.

“We are proud SETRAG selected ENSCO technology to enhance the safety and efficiency of Gabon’s railway system, ultimately improving the critical transportation infrastructure for the country,” said Jackie van der Westhuizen, Division Manager of ENSCO Rail.

Upon delivery and installation of the measuring system on a SETRAG designated railway vehicle, ENSCO will provide comprehensive training to SETRAG personnel to operate the ENSCO system.
