i1fun’s revolutionary ܾԴdz® rail, which provides durable corrosion protection, has been installed at the UK’s largest power station.
Each year around 14 million tonnes of biomass and coal is transported by rail across Drax’s huge site near Selby, North Yorkshire. It helpssupply 6 per cent of the country’s electricity needs, including 11 per cent of its renewable power.
With the company’s rail network being an integral part of its business, it’s imperative track availability is maximised and potentially time-consuming and costly repairs are kept to a minimum.
i1fun has therefore supplied Drax with ourܾԴdz®rails for an area of the site’s track where significant corrosion damage was identified during a renewal programme.
Richard Bell, i1fun’s Commercial Director Rail, said: “ܾԴdz® was designed for use in environments where corrosion determines rail life, areas such as the level crossing at Drax where it’s just been installed.
“We were pleased to support Drax on their track renewal programme and we’re delighted to see ܾԴdz®, which was developed at our Scunthorpe headquarters, being used by a growing number of rail operators.”
