B3’s International experience helps the global rail market

Many people by now are familiar with B3’s activities in the UK rail market but do you know the impact that B3 has had in the international
rail market?

For many years B3 Cable Solutions has been supplying cable into a variety of different projects across the globe and to the world’s leading train operators and railway engineering companies. One example of this, is the Marina Circle Line Project in Singapore which ran from 2003 – 2006. The project was completed in six stages and B3’s Spanish plant provided cabling throughout stages one to five. B3 Spain was chosen for this project because of its technical expertise and adherence to international standards as well as its ability to adapt product offerings to also include local requirements for example; anti termite, resistance to water through galvanisation, abrasion resistance (sand, concrete) rodent resistance, every  level of protection is incorporated into the design of cables offered to the project engineers.

Over the last few years B3 Cable Solutions has been proud to be associated with Thales, Siemens, Alstom, Ansaldo STS, Bombardier, Deutsche Bahn, RATP, ADIF and MAV Hungary. Much of B3’s success in supporting these customers is due to the impressive R&D facility available in the Spanish plant. Our facility offers the option for a comprehensive range of tests including, analytical, mechanical, electrical, physical and chemical. Advanced testing to determine electromagnetical performance and a range of fire performance tests which meet several international standards e.g. IEC, VDE etc. is also available. Furthermore, B3’s testing facility has the capability to simulate a wide range of environmental conditions including weather simulation, UV radiation, humidity, temperature control and accelerated ageing.

All of this is made possible because of the expertise and resource provided by B3 Cable Solutions and consequently makes B3 the number
one choice for all your cable requirements whether to national, international or your very own specification.
