Direct Fixation Rail Systems for Complex Rail Infrastructure
At Quality Railway Services, we provide direct fixation rail system installation for structural rail applications. This method anchors rails directly to concrete without the use of ties or ballast, making it ideal for projects like bridges, tunnels, and urban transit. With years of experience across Alberta and British Columbia, our team brings precision, reliability, and long-term value to your track installations.
Our team follows a proven process from the first site visit to final inspection. Every project is approached with a focus on quality, safety, and performance.
- Site Planning and Layout – We review the rail path and plan exact hardware placement.
- Foundation Preparation – Concrete is cleaned and primed for direct fastening.
- Fastening System Installation – We install anchor systems that lock the rails in place.
- Track Welding and Alignment – Rails are joined and aligned using advanced equipment.
- Final Review – Certified track inspectors complete a detailed walkthrough.
We work with a range of fastening technologies and meet industry standards for both public and private rail systems.
