High-performance rail welding and processing equipment engineered for Istanbul's metro expansions, mainline upgrades, and industrial rail systems.
Istanbul stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, making it one of the world's most strategically significant cities for rail infrastructure investment. With a metropolitan population exceeding 16 million, the demand for efficient, safe, and high-capacity rail transport has never been greater.
Turkey's Ministry of Transport has committed to expanding the national rail network to over 25,000 km by 2035, with Istanbul serving as the primary hub. Projects such as the Istanbul Metro expansion (Lines M7, M8, M9, M12), the Marmaray suburban rail upgrade, and the high-speed rail corridor connecting Istanbul to Ankara and Izmir are driving massive demand for precision rail welding solutions.
The industrial zones of Gebze, Tuzla, and Hadımköy — all within Istanbul's greater metropolitan area — host large-scale crane rail systems in shipyards, logistics parks, and manufacturing facilities, creating additional demand for thermite welding services and equipment.
For international rail welding manufacturers and suppliers, Istanbul represents a high-growth, high-value market where quality, certification compliance, and technical support are decisive purchasing factors.
Metro Network Expansion: Istanbul's metro system is projected to grow from 250 km to over 500 km by 2030, requiring thousands of precision rail weld joints annually.
High-Speed Rail Corridors: Turkey's YHT (Yüksek Hızlı Tren) network expansion demands the highest grade of continuous welded rail (CWR) technology.
Industrial Crane Rails: Seaports, shipyards, and heavy industry in the Marmara region rely on durable thermite-welded crane rail joints for 24/7 operations.
Maintenance & Rehabilitation: Aging rail infrastructure across Istanbul requires systematic joint replacement and re-welding programs every 3–5 years.
Regulatory Compliance: Turkish State Railways (TCDD) enforces EN 14730 and UIC standards, favoring suppliers with proven international certifications.

The rail welding sector is undergoing rapid technological evolution. Here are the key trends driving demand in Istanbul and across Turkey's growing rail network.
Next-generation thermite welding compounds deliver superior metallurgical bonding, reduced porosity, and extended joint life — critical for Istanbul's high-frequency metro lines operating 20+ hours daily.
Portable semi-automated welding equipment reduces human error and increases repeatability in confined tunnel environments, a key requirement for Istanbul's underground metro construction sites.
IoT-enabled inspection tools and ultrasonic testing integration allow real-time weld quality verification, supporting TCDD's strict compliance requirements for mainline and high-speed rail.
Reduced-slag and low-emission thermite formulations are gaining traction as Turkish environmental regulations tighten, particularly for urban metro projects near residential areas.
Istanbul's metro and mainline operators are accelerating the transition from jointed track to CWR, dramatically increasing demand for precision thermite welding at scale.
As Turkey develops local rail welding expertise, demand for supplier-provided training programs and EN 14730-certified welder qualification services is growing rapidly across Istanbul's contractor ecosystem.

From Southeast Asia to Russia and beyond, RMTS has delivered thermite welding solutions on demanding projects. The same expertise is available for Istanbul and Turkey.
As part of the Phase 2 expansion of Jakarta's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, RMTS was contracted to provide aluminothermic welding solutions for the new underground and elevated tracks. The project involved welding 600 rail joints across a 12-kilometer stretch, connecting key areas of the city to reduce traffic congestion.
Our team worked closely with PT MRT Jakarta to ensure the welds met international safety standards. The project was completed on time, and the new line has been operating smoothly since its launch. Jakarta MRT officials highlighted the durability of the welds, which have withstood the high frequency of train movements and tropical weather conditions.
The client faced the challenge of welding materials of T62 and P65 rails. The welding process needed to meet the rigorous standards set by the railway authorities, ensuring optimal track performance, longevity, and safety.
Solution:Our team collaborated closely with the client, thoroughly understanding their specific requirements. We provided them with our high-quality thermit welding materials, including welding kits tailored to suit the T62 and P65 steel rail specifications.
Customer Satisfaction:The client expressed utmost satisfaction with our thermit welding materials. They acknowledged the superior quality, reliability, and technical support provided by our team.
KTMB Railways aimed to improve connectivity across the city's suburbs. RMTS became the most trusted supplier with 1,000 aluminothermic welding materials for the new tracks, which included both underground and elevated sections. The project required precise welding to ensure smooth and safe operations, serving millions of passengers annually.
RMTS's welding materials were chosen for their ability to create strong, seamless joints that could withstand the humid climate and heavy usage. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and the new line has significantly reduced travel times for commuters.
