The End of Life of Rolling Stock
An Obligatory Step, To Be Appreciated
Faced with environmental, regulatory and economic challenges, managing the end of life of rolling stock is a must in managing the life cycle of fleets. The evolution of regulations (waste, traceability, recyclability) requires a careful and expert approach.
Today, operators must meet several requirements:
- Reduce the environmental footprint by maximizing the recycling and valorization of components;
- Ensure regulatory compliance, in particular on the treatment of dangerous substances (asbestos, oils, heavy metals);
- Control end of life costs while guaranteeing smooth and secure logistics.
- Guarantee the safety of the personnel involved (prevention plan)
In this context, MASTERIS offers an adapted and tailor-made response, combining technical control, industrial coordination and strategic support for optimized management of the dismantling of your rolling stock.
MASTERIS offers a comprehensive methodological approach, structured around two major axes: strategic support (AMOA) and operational implementation (MOE).
01. Project Management Assistance (AMOA)
- Technical and regulatory diagnosis of the fleet to be dismantled, integrating safety, logistics and environmental issues
- Obsolescence assessment: identification of critical parts, support for the recovery of components or subsystems
- Analysis of the adaptability of maintenance at the end of life: evaluation of possible intersections between trains to optimize parts stocks, support in trade-offs between curative and preventive maintenance and withdrawal of service, in compliance with safety regulations
- Development of a strategic dismantling plan taking into account technical and logistical constraints, environmental issues (depollution, asbestos removal, recycling, reuse), performance indicators to be monitored
- Drafting of specifications to precisely structure technical, regulatory and environmental needs
- Support for the consultation of service providers (analysis of offers, verification of skills, treatment of hazardous waste and recovery of materials)
02. MOE execution of a dismantling program
- Industrial management: organization of flows, monitoring of schedules, coordination of construction sites
- Supervision of subcontractors: supervision of dismantling, transport, transport, transport, sorting, treatment and asbestos removal operations if necessary — ensuring the safety of all interventions
- Implementation of a flow traceability system, guaranteeing compliance with environmental regulations (waste tracking slips, material balances, etc.)
- Quality and safety control over the entire process, with regular reporting and gap analysis
MASTERIS relies on the resources of SNCF Voyageurs and its network of partners
With MASTERIS, you benefit from a single interlocutor capable of mobilizing all the expertise, services and resources of the SNCF group as well as a national and international network of other partners, to offer complete, efficient solutions adapted to your needs.
Hardware engineering at SNCF is
- 2,200 experts spread over 17 centers across France
- 182 experts from the Synapse network (network of SNCF scientific and technical experts)
- 15 patents filed on average per year
In France, the SNCF group counts on:
- 10 technical center
- 5 engineering clusters
A clear vision of the key stages of your project
In Dakar, we are far from major European rail networks, so in the event of incidents it is important to be able to react quickly and independently. This is why it was important to improve the skills of the teams in lifting our Coradia machines and our work trains. MASTERIS was able to respond quickly and effectively to our expectations.
Within Hexafret, regulatory monitoring already exists on which ECE relies. However, it proved necessary to complete this monitoring in order to cover all the countries in which Hexafret operates, in particular Germany, Spain and Italy. Hexafret therefore turned to MASTERIS in 2024 to provide this service.
After a first year of collaboration, Hexafret satisfied with both the content and the contractual relationship, extended the regulatory monitoring contract in 2025. We appreciate its synthetic side.
