Gabon's rapidly expanding industrial landscape — driven by mining, forestry, and port logistics — creates significant demand for reliable rail infrastructure and professional thermit welding solutions.
Gabon is one of Africa's leading manganese and iron ore producers. The Transgabonais railway — stretching over 650 km from Libreville to Franceville — is the primary artery for mineral transport. Thermit welding is critical for maintaining continuous welded rail (CWR) on this heavy-haul corridor, ensuring joint-free tracks that withstand the extreme loads of ore freight trains.
The Port of Owendo and Port-Gentil are Gabon's key maritime gateways. Container cranes and gantry systems running on heavy crane rails require precision thermit welding to maintain operational continuity. Aluminothermic welds provide the metallurgical bond strength essential for high-cycle crane operations in Gabon's humid, coastal environment.
Gabon's vast equatorial forest zone has extensive logging and timber processing operations. Internal rail systems within sawmills and wood processing plants rely on thermit welding for durable rail joints that can handle heavy timber loads. RMTS's welding solutions are designed to perform reliably even in high-humidity tropical environments like Gabon's interior.
Libreville and other Gabonese cities are investing in urban transport and infrastructure modernization. As light rail and tramway projects gain momentum under Gabon's national development plans, thermit welding becomes an indispensable technology for creating smooth, long-lasting rail joints in urban transit systems.
Gabon's hydropower and oil & gas sectors require robust internal rail systems for equipment movement and maintenance operations. Thermit welding's ability to create metallurgically sound joints without external power sources makes it ideal for remote energy installations throughout the country.
The aging Transgabonais railway network requires ongoing maintenance and periodic track rehabilitation. Thermit welding is the preferred method for field repairs and joint rehabilitation, allowing maintenance crews to restore rail integrity quickly and cost-effectively in remote jungle terrain where electric power may not be available.
The thermit welding industry in Gabon is evolving rapidly, driven by infrastructure investment, technology adoption, and regional integration across Central Africa.
Gabon's government and international mining companies are investing in railway capacity expansion to increase manganese and iron ore export volumes. New track-laying and existing line upgrades demand large quantities of thermit welding consumables and equipment, creating a growing OEM supply opportunity for manufacturers like RMTS.
Gabon's rail operators are transitioning from traditional bolted joints to continuous welded rail (CWR), which significantly reduces maintenance costs and improves ride quality. This shift dramatically increases demand for thermit welding services and consumables throughout the country's rail network.
Chinese infrastructure investment in Gabon under Belt & Road adjacent initiatives has opened channels for Chinese rail technology and OEM manufacturing partnerships. RMTS is well-positioned to supply thermit welding machines and materials to Chinese-led construction projects operating in Gabon.
Gabon's equatorial climate — characterized by high humidity, heavy rainfall, and elevated temperatures — demands thermit welding materials specifically formulated for tropical conditions. RMTS's R&D team has developed moisture-resistant consumables and sealed packaging solutions tailored for Central African deployment environments.
A growing trend in Gabon is the development of local technical capacity for rail welding operations. RMTS provides comprehensive on-site training programs that empower Gabonese technicians to independently perform thermit welding operations, reducing dependency on foreign specialists and lowering long-term operational costs.
The vision of a Trans-African railway network connecting Gabon with neighboring Cameroon, Republic of Congo, and Equatorial Guinea is gaining traction. Cross-border rail projects will require standardized thermit welding technologies and materials, creating a unified regional market that RMTS is strategically positioned to serve.
RMTS have a highly skilled R&D team that works tirelessly to ensure that we produce thermit welding materials that meet the specific needs of each type of rail — from standard gauge mainlines in Gabon to specialized crane rails at seaports.
In addition to its strong R&D capabilities, RMTS actively participates in railway projects across China and abroad. The company collaborates with railway authorities, construction companies, and maintenance organizations to provide expertise and materials for various projects worldwide.
By participating in railway projects, RMTS contributes to the development and maintenance of extensive railway networks. Whether in high-speed rail, urban transit systems, or conventional rail lines — including Gabon's Transgabonais — RMTS ensures the integrity and safety of rail infrastructure.
Furthermore, RMTS maintains partnerships with research institutions, universities, and industry experts in China. These collaborations enable RMTS to continuously strengthen its R&D capabilities in thermit welding technologies, ensuring products remain at the cutting edge of industry standards.
RMTS offers two proven crucible technologies for thermit welding, each optimized for different operational requirements across Gabon's diverse rail environments.
Our main markets are in areas such as railway main lines, seaport crane rails, subways, trams, and high-speed railways. Aluminothermic welding plays a crucial role in these fields. No matter the scenario, RMTS welding technology, with its excellent performance, serves as a powerful support for promoting industry development and ensuring operational safety in Gabon and beyond.
Thermit portion, sand mold, luting sand, and ignitor are the main consumables for aluminothermic welding — 1 weld, 1 set of consumables. For example, a 10 km project using 12.5 m long rails requires: 10,000 ÷ 12.5 × 2 = 1,600 sets. RMTS supplies complete consumable packages for Gabon rail projects of any scale.

RMTS is a passionate and progressive aluminothermic welding manufacturing company dedicated to providing complete lifecycle support for Gabonese rail and industrial operators.
Aluminum thermite welding, also known as aluminothermic welding or thermit welding, is a specialized welding technique that utilizes a chemical reaction to generate intense heat for joining rail components. Understanding its historical development helps operators in Gabon select the right technology for their specific applications.
Preparation Step 1: Ensure the rail ends to be welded are clean, free from rust, and properly aligned. The gap size (space between two rails to be welded) shall be 26±2mm. RMTS provides detailed process documentation and on-site guidance for Gabon-based welding teams.
Thermit welding materials will be failed with water. All welding materials should be kept away from any moisture in storage, as well as in the welding process. Special protocols apply in Gabon's high-humidity tropical environment to ensure weld quality and operator safety.
