Wheelsets operate under varying environmental conditions ranging from desert to snow. Axle loads my vary from 5t per axle to 40t per axle and more... These factors affect the design, maintenance and inspection criteria and requirements.
From a safety point of view wheelsets are critical to railway operations.
Wheelsets are also high cost components and the highest cost components from a maintenance point of view.

Railway track design will to a large extent determine the long term maintenance cost and track safety. Rail failures can result in loss of life and/or enormous losses in terms of recovery, repairs and loss of production. The design and maintenance of the track plays an important role in the safe running of a railway. This includes inspection of tracks, condition monitoring and maintenance process such as track tamping and non-destructive testing.
The selection of rails the best rail section for the application is very important. This can be achieved by ensuring that stress levels are understood and properly managed. In addition the selection of rail supplier based on process audits and quality assurance is important to ensure long term viability of the track system.
