Established in 2004, Lloyd Rail is
a wholly Irish owned provider of operating personnel for specialist
track-mounted
rail maintenance machines. Our major client is Iarnrod Eireann
(Irish Rail). We also have worked with Somague / Neopul (Portugal)
and McLaughlin & Harvey (Northern Ireland) on track work in
the new Portlaoise Train Care Facility completed in 2008 and on
the Derry line relay project currently ongoing.
As we operate in a safety critical field we are wholly focused on training, systems
and procedures in order to fulfil the demands of our clients with an emphasis
on Safety, Quality and Productivity. Lloyd Rail is audited annually by the NSAI
and holds ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18000 accreditation. |
Lloyd Rail provides highly skilled
personnel to operate Irish Rail’s fleet of rail mounted
track maintenance machinery. Most of this work involves tamping
(returning the track to the
correct geometry) but also includes adhesion laying (Sandite),
weed spraying, ballast cleaning, ballast regulation and operation
of inspection vehicles.
In 2008, Lloyd Rail announced a strategic alliance with major Swiss based rail
contractor The Sersa Group (www.sersa-group.com).
A new company, Lloyd Sersa (IE) Ltd. was established and following a public tender
process, the new company was successful in being awarded a contract by Iarnrod
Eireann for Thermit Welding. 2 Thermit Welding Crews using SmW-F methodology
are now working full time on the Iarnrod Eireann network. In addition, due to
the substantial resources available from The Sersa Group, additional crews are
available on demand.
Lloyd Rail considers this strategic alliance with Sersa as a major
step forward for the company, allowing us draw on the significant technological
advances in
rail maintenance developed by that company. These technologies include the patented
Second Life System for renewal of Switches & Crossings, RailVac for minor
excavations, and Flash Butt Welding. Over the coming years we expect to demonstrate
the cost savings achievable by use of these technologies to our clients. |
