TAILORED DESIGNS
A fast-changing sector
Recent changes to the railway regulatory framework confirm new rules and responsibility for new works machines placed on the market.
These changes significantly increase the technical and regulatory requirements, resulting in a substantial rise in certain costs.
Novium now designs machines in line with these changes, designed for the current and future environment, agile but also suitable for different rail and road networks and for controlling operating costs.

Our
expertise
Our knowledge of rail and overhead lines infrastructure, together with our activity as a maintainer and ECM, make us a permanent driving force for new solutions that offer an effective response to different requirements.
Novium can help its construction clients in assembling certain specific machines by bringing its production capacities and capabilities to bear. Novium acts as a solutions provider and a driving force enabling adaptation or even co-development.
The flexibility and versatility of the teams at Novium gives it the ability to design prototypes and small production runs, calling on its full range of expertise to ensure effective development that is perfectly adapted to requirements.
Novium can develop targeted, tailored, non-standard tools in collaboration with our partners, for small production runs that can be adapted for road-rail machines and specialised vehicles and help improve worksite performance.
Our construction expertise puts us in a position to renovate and modernise machines, in part or in full, in accordance with applicable regulations and reference standards. Our electrical and mechanical, hydraulic and operational refurbishment processes deliver machines that are new and modernised.
Our flexibility, responsiveness and capacity to share, supported by our network of partners, mean we can offer a very quick response time for far-reaching projects.

CASE STUDY
NEOCAT Group
The NEOCAT group, consisting of COLAS RAIL and TSO Caténaires, tasked us with setting up a works train to prepare for the old catenary poles to be replaced by new generation poles bolted to the existing foundation slabs. Our historical relations since Novium was founded, together with our corporate culture and the flexibility that allows us to table innovative solutions, led to a contract for the design and manufacture, to obtain approval for and support the supply of this “civil engineering” train.
