TEKIA and Railway Systems

Urban and long-distance railways are mass transit infrastructure and, as such, are regarded as a high-risk scenario. They are often complex, as in the case of subway lines with underground stations, tunnels from one station to another, train and passenger traffic, etc., all connected within a network, which makes it very easy for risk to spread from the original site of the incident. Emergency safety measures go beyond railway safety, and are constantly evolving thanks to the advances in technology.

At TEKIA, our experience in different urban and high-speed railways allows us to offer safety engineering solutions that cover everything, from designing the system to defining operations and emergency procedures.
