High Speed Rail

For moving quickly while respecting the environment, high speed rail is the reliable, reasonable and sustainable alternative to air travel, shortening distances and better connecting cities from their hyper-centres.

SYSTRA has been a pioneer in high-speed rail for more than four decades

We have brought high speed rail to China, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Morocco, Sweden and the UK. Globally Systra has played a key role in more than half the world’s high-speed line.​

SYSTRA also played a significant part in defining Europe’s standards governing high speed rail. Our expertise in the operation of high-speed lines means we are able to factor in maintenance and operation constraints as part of the design phase. We are committed to developing the future of high-speed rail to make it more affordable and faster to build, with more robust infrastructures that are easier to maintain.​

OUR ASSETS

• SYSTRA played a part in defining Europe’s standards governing high speed rail.
  
  
• Our expertise in the operation of high-speed lines means we are able to factor in maintenance and operation constraints as of the design phase.
  
  
• We are the precursors behind new concepts such as short-span bridges which are adapted to high-speed trains that can travel at a speed of up to 350-400 km/hour.​
  
  
• We are committed to developing the future of high-speed rail to make it more affordable and faster to build, with more robust infrastructures that are easier to maintain.​
  
  

Over the last decade, Indian Railways has explored the possibility of developing a High-Speed Rail network and in that pursuit has awarded over 6 pre-feasibility studies and 4 feasibility studies. SYSTRA in India is the only international consultancy firm to have been actively involved in 3 of these studies.​

We are also involved in the Semi High Speed Rail study jointly carried out by Indian Railways and SNCF for up-gradation of the existing Delhi – Chandigarh section.​
