(Business in Cameroon) - Specialising in rail maintenance vehicle manufacturing, Austrian company, Plasser & Theurer, delivered a “geometric parameter control autorail,” for 2.31 billion FCFA. This was announced on December 3, 2014 in Yaoundé at the official service launch of the new equipment.

This specialised railcar with a barrage of electronic equipment, will allow the rail concessionaire “to gather information on the geometric quality of the railway, data on rail profiles, the wear on the tracks, inclination and surface flaws.” According to Camrail officials, the monitoring autorail “will help to improve the annual maintenance” of the national railway as well as “quickly check all work done on the track.”

The launch of this maintenance equipment comes only days after the Cameroonian rail service was declared to be good and able to transport the bauxite mined by Canyon Resources on the Birsok project in Adamaoua.

Indeed, on November 26, 2014, the above-mentioned mining company announced that it was certain about the quality of the Cameroonian railway network after data provided by Camrail were examined. This second opinion was provided by Clarendon Irving Ltd and Andrew Neal & Associates.
