Safety, availability, reliability and sustainability are the foundations on which railway infrastructure maintenance is based.

To ensure that a strategy which reflects these goals is pursued, IP has the human resources and technologically advanced equipment which provides accurate knowledge of the state of infrastructure, allowing us to prioritize our investment and schedule maintenance and rehabilitation work on the network under our management.

Based on our vast experience in a range of technical areas such as Track and Geotechnics, Catenary and Traction Power, Signaling, Low Voltage, Civil Construction, and Bridges and Tunnels, IP performs maintenance and renovation work on the railway infrastructure following the best international practices in compliance with the most demanding safety requirements and standards.

Different railway maintenance activities are carried out in an ongoing cycle which ranges from inspection to execution, taking into consideration infrastructure characteristics, the type of operation and the service aims of each line.

Due to our unique and exclusive know-how, IP uses internal teams for inspection work, while actual maintenance work is generally outsourced.
