Applications

Corus operates in a variety of rail industry sectors across the globe. We have developed a unrivalled understanding of different rail applications and this has enabled us to create a range of products that meets or exceeds the requirements of our customers. The markets that we operate in include:

Heavy haul

Heavy haul railways transport large volumes of materials, often in isolated, sparsely populated regions.

High speed

An ever expanding sector, high speed railways provide frequent, fast and reliable intercity passenger services.

Industrial applications

Industrial applications can be temporary or semi-permanent track in plantations, forests, quarries and large civil engineering projects.

Mixed traffic systems

Most of the railways in the world are designed to cater for both passenger and freight traffic.

Other applications

Other industrial uses range from extensive systems serving large industrial sites (e.g. steelworks, power stations, mineral mining and processing) to small specialised tracks.

Urban railways and mass transit

Increasing urban development and associated road congestion has resulted in rapid worldwide growth in this sector. Massive increases in commuter populations and widespread environmental sensitivity and energy efficiency awareness are also major contributing factors.
