Italian firm to give Eye Level safety in Metro projects

Kolkata: Italian rail safety company, Italcertifer, which took part in the recently-concluded Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS), has expressed its eagerness to explore possibilities of providing Eye Level safety in urban Metro and mono-rail projects in the city.

Apart from the MoUs which were already signed in leather sector, the Italian delegation also included representatives from the railway sector who were established experts in railway hardware, railway braking and tension devices.

The Italian rail delegates saw West Bengal as a fertile ground to showcase their already established service specially in the light of the fact that the state has been witnessing the completion of its extensive metro rail projects to shorten surface travel.

With its consolidated knowledge and multiple accreditations recognized at both national and international levels, Italcertifer provides a wide range of services related to certification, inspection and third-party compliance assessment for the rail industry.

In the BGBS some tangible talks on eye level safety services came up during a meeting. Italcertifer CEO Carmine Zappacosta said, “We cater to safety services in high speed rail projects specially driver less systems. Our safety services are well known across the Europe and other parts of the world.”

He added, “We are also providing services of rail signals and it would be of immense mutual benefit for both sides if there was exchange of our safety technology to facilitate eye level safety for passengers as the city supports a huge population and a successful governance gives prime importance to safety along with swiftness of transport.”
