Track machines is not an asset for infrastructure owners, but costs.
One of the ways to optimise costs and improve the efficiency of machine operation is the outsourcing.
The Customer concludes a long-term contract for maintenance of the infrastructure by a mechanised method for a period comparable to the life cycle of the machinery.
Within the framework of the project, the PTK Group supplies new machines or updates the Customer's machine fleet, carries out maintenance and repairs, performs trackworks by its own personnel.
When transferring works for outsourcing, the Customer reduces operating costs and receives an economic effect. At the same time, the PTK Group assumes all risks associated with the introduction of new technologies and advanced machines on the Customer's infrastructure.
Such a business model reduce the cost of operations of track machines
and attract private investment in its updating.
