The rail network in Thailand

Understanding the ground before we mobilise

Network of about 4,800 km, metre gauge (1,000 mm), mostly non-electrified. Infrastructure and operations: State Railway of Thailand (SRT).

Double-tracking of the main corridors, Bangkok–Nakhon Ratchasima high-speed line under construction with China, Bang Sue Grand station, Bangkok BTS, MRT and suburban lines.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ studies jobs in Thailand case by case: road-rail MEWPs and excavators shipped by road or sea with their certified operators, operators provided on long-distance assignment, training of local teams with AK FORMATION, as a subcontractor to French companies or in partnership with local players.

Our road-rail plant is built for 1,435 mm standard gauge; compatibility with the gauge in use in Thailand (metre gauge (1,000 mm)) and approval by the infrastructure manager are confirmed during the study.

Can you work in Thailand with your road-rail plant?

Yes, subject to study: road-rail MEWPs and excavators are shipped by low-loader, container or ro-ro with their certified operators. Lead times, customs formalities and local approval are built into the quote.

Which track gauge in Thailand?

The network in Thailand uses metre gauge (1,000 mm). Our plant is built for standard gauge; adaptation to another gauge is studied with the manufacturer before any mobilisation.
