Harsco Adds to Brazilian Footprint With New Railway Track Maintenance Equipment Order
April 06 2010 - 11:34AM
Worldwide industrial services and engineered products company
Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) announced today that its Harsco Rail
unit has received a new railway ballast tamper order from the
Brazilian market, marking another step forward in the Company's
strategies for expanding its service and product support within
emerging market economies. Terms of the order were not disclosed.
The Harsco tamper will be used by Brazilian contractor EGESA
Engenharia S.A. in the construction of railway track throughout
Brazil, working on behalf of VALEC, Brazil's government entity for
railway construction. The laser-guided Harsco tamper is
designed to precisely align and stabilize railway track by raising
the rail to the desired height and packing the supporting ballast
foundation. The Brazilian unit will be equipped with Harsco's
Tie Sensor technology, a computer-aided tie indexing system that
further increases productivity by programming the frequency and
placement of the unit's tamping tools.
When completed and delivered later this year, the new tamper
will join a growing Harsco Rail equipment and support presence in
Brazil. Harsco Rail is the largest provider of railway track
maintenance of way services and equipment in the U.S. and the
second largest in the world, serving customers in virtually every
geographic sector. Its operations include facilities in the
U.S., U.K. and Australia. The new tamper will be constructed
at Harsco Rail's U.S. production facilities.
Harsco Corporation is one of the world's leading diversified
industrial services and engineered products companies. Harsco
serves key industries that play a fundamental role in worldwide
economic growth, including infrastructure construction, metals,
railways and energy. Harsco's common stock is a component of
