Pandrol Fastclip Baseplate Project: Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Thailand

The Northern Line railway runs for 751 kilometres, from Bangkok station in central Thailand to Chiang Mai in the north. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is currently undertaking a major track doubling project to change railways from single- (bi-directional) to double-track lines. This presented an opportunity to tackle an ongoing issue with flooding on a stretch of the Northern Line from Lopburi to Pak Nam Pho, where traditional ballasted tracks are regularly underwater or washed away during the rainy season from June to November.
The decision was made to build an elevated structure – a vast viaduct – stretching 25km through flood zones and rice fields. A high-quality fastening system was needed for the ballastless track and in 2019 SRT awarded Pandrol the contract to supply Fastclip baseplates for the full length of the viaduct.
