79 metro lines to be built, fastener demand growth expected to accelerate

On August 21, Mr. Lu Kehua, Director of Department of Urban Construction said at an internal meeting of Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that the state council had approved the metro construction plans from 22 cities, with a total investment of 882.003 billion yuan. The increase demand of rail transportation will not only foster the development of railway industry, but also drive the development of related industries in some degree. Fastener industry is one of the industries that will benefit from it.

Fasteners are widely used in the urban rail construction. In recent years, railway and steel structure have become popular areas for some fastener enterprises to invest in. Rail joints are the cause of vibration. Using fasteners is the best choice to overcome vibration problem and reduce the failure of rail joints. The application of fasteners can eliminate the failure of rail joints and increase the resistance of joints, so that the safety of rail transportation can be ensured. Therefore, the rail transportation construction cannot do without the "support" from fasteners.
