Our Head Wash Repair Rail Welding offers a durable and efficient solution for restoring rail integrity and extending track life. Designed to repair head wash damage, this advanced welding technique ensures smooth rail surfaces, enhanced track performance, and reduced maintenance costs.
HWR is suitable for repairing railhead defects between 25mm and 90mm wide and 25mm deep (depending on the rail profile), it can be used on both the parent rail and on electric flash butt welds, which often suffer from squats. It is also suitable for transversal defects, shelling and corner gauge.
The aluminothermic weld process is carried out using specially designed moulds.
Pandrol’s head wash repair (HWR) process provides a cost-effective, efficient alternative to plug rail repairs. The HWR process has been adding value to rail networks in the USA and Canada since 2008, in the UK since 2013 and in France since 2015.
