We are delighted to inform you that Equinox has successfully completed the contract for the “Supply of 19 sets of 54 KG rail turnouts” awarded by PRFTC. This project was worth PKR 359 M.
In Feb 2017 Pakistan Railways Freight Transportation Company (PRFTC) floated an international tender on DDP basis for 19 sets of different types of turnouts (along with spares). Equinox participated in this tender with its Principal Qinhuangdao City Shanhaiguan Gongwu Equipment Factory (GWQC) and won the contract.
Our Customer PRFTC, a sister concern of Pakistan Railways, is responsible for providing linkage and transportation of coal to the coal fired power plant projects in Pakistan.
The turnouts are installed at Yousafwala Railway station near Sahiwal and are now being used to route the coal to the newly constructed coal fired power station.
These turnouts will also help automate Yousafwala station to facilitate the smooth and efficient coal transportation to the power plant through the CBI (Computer Based Interlocking).
This opportunity is a major breakthrough for Equinox in the track sector of Pakistan Railways and will allow Equinox to tap into the future opportunities in both the indigenous requirements of Pakistan Railways and the projects of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
