JAKARTA. Rail bearings type 1067 manufactured by PT Waskita Beton Precast Tbk (WBSP) are once again granted a railway infrastructure component certificate from the Directorate-General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation.
Sugiharto, Director of Business and Development of WSBP, claimed that this certification would boost a positive signal for the company to be involved further in the railway infrastructure projects in Indonesia. “The company sees quite a vast opportunity in railway infrastructure projects in Indonesia,” he agreed in the official release earlier today (18/2).
Prior to this certificate, rail bearings type 1067 designed by WSBP had undergone testing in the Centre of Structural Strength Technology (lit. di Balai Besar Teknologi Kekuatan Struktur/B2TKS). The certification process of the rail-bearing products took place alongside PT Pindad (Persero).
For the record, rail bearings type 1067 function as bearings that can hold moving railway with the speed of a maximum of 120 km/hour. The axle load limit that the bearings can hold is capped at 18 tons.
“The rail-bearing products type 1067 are supplied for the Manggarai double-track project spanning across 3,000 metre spoors (msp),” Sugiharto revealed. (KR/ZH)
