RailCert Hungary Kft. successfully completed the year 2022.
2022 was a momentous year for our company in many ways!
Last year we issued a total of 171 (EC) Certificates of Verification/Intermediate Statements of Verification (ISVs) (78 for Infrastructure, 52 for Energy and 36 for Control-Command and Signalling, and 5 for Rolling Stock), our NoBo notification status has been extended to Rolling Stock-RST, our number of employees has almost doubled and we have been represented in several European countries at various events.
Two end-of-year projects are worth highlighting; the conformity assessment of the authorisation documents for the Hatvan-Újszász and Vámosgyörk-Gyöngyös railway lines.
For the Hatvan-Újszász and Vámosgyörk-Gyöngyös railway lines, EC (NoBo) and NR(DeBo) certification procedures have been carried out for three subsystems – Energy (ENE), Infrastructure (INF) and Control-Command and Signalling (CCS). The main technical contents to be implemented under the former project were:
- Upgrading of the Hatvan delta track between junctions A and D, ensuring a speed of 80 km/h at the junctions and increasing the axle load to 225 kN,
- Complete renewal of the lighting installations up to Jászberény,
- rebuilding of the overhead contact line system,
- Complete track superstructure replacement on the section from Hatvan (only) to Jászberény (including),
- Jászberény stations: construction of 160 m of elevated platform SK+55,
- Conservation renewal of the D55 equipment at Jászberény station,
- reconstruction of road crossings on the Hatvan-Jászberény section,
- renewal of the line level crossings (AS) and the crossing facilities (AT) on the section.
The design tasks of the Vámosgyörk-Gyöngyös project included:
- upgrading of the railway track to provide a speed of 100-160-120 km/h and an axle load of 22.5 tonnes,
- Renovation of Gyöngyös station,
- complete reconstruction of the existing overhead line system,
- construction of a safety equipment system with ETCS L1 train protection,
- renewal of level crossings with change of insurance mode,
- condition-dependent renovation or reconstruction of structures.
RailCert Hungary Kft., as a NoBo, DeBo or AsBo Organisation, will participate in a number of projects in 2023, as it did last year.
