Tata Steel rail contract to link Saudi Arabia’s two holy cities

Tata Steel has won an order to manufacture 60,000 tonnes of high-quality rail for a new high-speed line linking the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. The new railway will allow millions of pilgrims to cross the 276 miles (444km) between the two cities at speeds of 200mph (320kmh). The line will cross desert, withstanding temperatures ranging from freezing to 50oC, as well as sand storms, flash flooding and shifting dunes.

New success for Tata Steel modular platforms

Tata Steel has installed two new modular platform systems in the UK, one at West Drayton Station, and the other at Langley Station. These modular systems provide a cost-efficient, quick way to design and install passenger platforms and can be customised with all types of surfaces and finishes. West Drayton was installed with only a weekend of traffic disruption, and Langley needed no traffic interruption.
