🚆 Railway maintenance is expensive - and rising costs often mean higher fares for passengers. To tackle this challenge, National Rail turned to Mikrospin.
Adrian worked directly with the maintenance team to improve the efficiency of tamping machines, which were suffering from hydraulic oil contamination. By introducing advanced filtering and testing, both on-site and in partnership with UK labs, issues were identified early and resolved before they caused serious damage.
The result? Machines ran more reliably, downtime was reduced, and significant cost savings were made. A win for National Rail, its passengers, and more sustainable maintenance.
