Czech this out
RACEC’s core rail division has become the first South African company to utilise modern computerised track-measuring technology.
RACEC Rail’s main business is building, maintaining and upgrading railway track systems. In the year to end September 2008 the division increased turnover by more than 60% to R172million and doubled profits to R28million.
RACEC Rail executive director Winston Ollewagen says the company recently acquired three Czech Republic manufactured specialised measurement trolleys. The trolleys are being used to conduct a two year turnout
measurement contract for Transnet.
Ollewagen says these trooleys were also used to assess private sidings for RACEC Rail’s existing clients as part of a comprehensive maintenance evaluation process.
