Harsco Secures Additional Orders Totaling $11 Million From China Metro Transit Operators
March 14 2011 - 8:43AM
Worldwide industrial services and engineered products company
Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) announced today its receipt of two
additional railway track maintenance equipment orders from China
metro transit system operators totaling close to $11 million.
The orders from the Suzhou and Guangfo Metros continue Harsco's
growing rail equipment presence in China. Both orders call for
Harsco's 20-stone rail grinders, a configuration ideally
suited to the needs of urban metro systems with fully integrated,
on-board diagnostics to simplify maintenance and minimize downtime
in high-volume rapid transit roles. The units will be used by
both metro lines to restore and maintain rail profiles for smoother
travel at higher speeds while reducing fuel consumption and
operating costs. The 20-stone designation refers to the number
of grinding heads, each of which can be individually aligned to
grind precise rail profiles.
Scheduled for delivery in 2012, the orders add to Harsco Rail's
global backlog as one of the world's leading providers of equipment
and service solutions for total track maintenance.
Harsco Corporation is a diversified industrial services company
serving global industries that are fundamental to worldwide
