The Land Transport Authority allocates operating concessions to two for-profit private
corporations, namely SMRT (Singapore Mass Rapid Transit) and SBS TRANSIT (Singapore Bus
Services Transit), both of which are responsible for asset maintenance on their respective
lines.
These operators also run bus and taxi services, thus facilitating the full integration of public
transport services in Singapore.
Both were facing corrosion issues and started to consider ZINGA for the “Find & Fix Maintenance” program. After several comparative tests, they realized that it was better to adopt ZINGA as a Preventive Maintenance.
Under the “Find & Fix Maintenance” trials conducted since 2013 both SMRT and SBS TRANSIT
have accepted that ZINGA was a better anti-corrosion system compared to the other coatings
used.
The rails are mainly produced by MITSUI, NIPPON RAILS (Japan) and TATA RAILS (France).
Since 2016 and until today all the SMRT and SBS TRANSIT rails are protected with ZINGA as
unique system.
The rails are sandblasted and coated in the workshops of ABRACLEAN (Singapore) under the
constant supervision of ZINGA (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.
