Description
This project aims to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of coating systems for the rolling stock underframe environment, for both passenger and freight vehicles. This will reduce risks of failure, enable more accurate predictions of component life expectancy and allow a better planning of maintenance cycles. By developing a compendium of coating systems - including guidance on surface preparation, coating application, removal and maintenance - this research aims to enable the development of better-informed processes related to surface protection of wheelset components. Since Alstom's - acting as industry supporter for this project - current overhaul cycle ends in May 2021, there is an opportunity for the guidance developed by this project to be trialled during their next overhaul. RSSB will also evaluate with the relevant stakeholders the opportunity to feed the findings from this project into further work to generate a Guidance Note and to incorporate recommendations in IB/TS 0648 Data for Wheelset Overhaul and Repair and/or CR/PE 0102 Repainting of Rail Vehicles.
Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
