Smarter Welding. Stronger Networks. Less Disruption.
Urban rail systems demand precision with tight curves, embedded track, limited work window, and high passenger expectations.
Holland delivers Intelliweld®-powered solutions engineered specifically for light rail and tram networks, helping operators install new grooved rail, restore worn assets, and eliminate defects before they become failures.
The intelliweld difference
For over 90 years, Holland has been a trusted leader in the global railroad community. Our OEM-and-operator perspective drives the success of the world’s largest fleet of mobile flash-butt welders and inspired the development of the Intelliweld® Control System, which combines automation, intelligent control, and digital verification to eliminate uncertainty in rail welding. Today, Holland is extending the Intelliweld® philosophy to new rail welding technologies that deliver safer operations, longer asset life, and more resilient tram and light rail networks.
Gauge corner restoration (GCR)
Extend Rail Life Without Full Replacement
High-wear curves don’t always require new rail.
Our Intelliweld-controlled GCR process restores worn gauge corners with precision and repeatability, helping operators extend asset life and reduce disruptive capital replacement cycles.
Flash-butt welding for grooved rail (g-head)
Higher Quality Welds for Safer Passenger Operations
Our G-Head welders are purpose-built for grooved rail profiles used in light rail and tram systems, where weld quality directly impacts safety, reliability, and lifecycle cost.
Flash-butt welding helps provide consistency and integrity to your network.
Discrete Defect Remediation (DDR)
Fully Automated Defect Remediation for Precise Outcomes
Surface-initiated defects in high-traffic light rail corridors can escalate quickly.
Holland’s fully automated DDR solution removes discrete defects with controlled precision, eliminating variability and reducing reliance on manual processes.
