Engineered to deliver exceptional joint integrity, fatigue resistance, and continuous welded rail (CWR) stability across the Greater Manila transit expansion projects.
The Greater Manila area is undergoing a historic infrastructure transformation driven by massive capital investments in modern transit systems, including the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP), the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR), LRT-1 Cavite Extension, and MRT-7. In this high-density tropical urban corridor, standard bolted rail joints are increasingly replaced by Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) systems to mitigate track degradation, minimize acoustic emissions, and eliminate derailment risks under high axle load and intense passenger volumes.
Navigating the tropical humidity, frequent seismic activity, and severe coastal saline exposure in the Manila Bay area necessitates rigorous metallurgical standards in aluminothermic (thermit) rail welding. Leading engineering contractors and track maintenance departments require specialized rail welding factories and equipment manufacturers capable of delivering zero-defect thermit portions, precision pre-heating equipment, high-durability refractory sand moulds, and hydraulic stress-relief machinery tailored for international rail standards such as UIC54, UIC60, JIS 50N, and AREMA 115RE.
RMTS is a premier manufacturer specializing in railroad thermit welding materials, based in Tianjin, China. With a modern industrial factory spanning over 5,500+㎡ and a dedicated team of 30+ technical professionals, we are committed to delivering reliable, safe, and cost-efficient thermit welding solutions to rail contractors, municipal authorities, and seaport operators across the globe, including key transit hubs in Southeast Asia.
We understand that successful welding projects require not only high-quality consumables and machinery but also comprehensive technical expertise. That is why RMTS provides structured on-site training programs to assist local welding crews in mastering aluminothermic procedures, ensuring compliance with strict metallurgical tolerances. Additionally, our veteran field engineers offer turnkey project welding supervision and hands-on guidance to ensure seamless execution on complex railway alignments.
Driven by a customer-centric approach, RMTS fosters long-term engineering partnerships by delivering tailored solutions designed for diverse heavy-haul, metro, and port crane rail specifications.
Innovative metallurgical formulas and field-proven machinery engineered to withstand harsh rail operating environments.
RMTS possesses a highly skilled R&D engineering team that continuously develops specialized thermit welding portions matching exact rail chemical compositions, including head-hardened, micro-alloyed, and standard carbon steel rails.
Beyond manufacturing, RMTS actively participates in mega railway engineering projects worldwide, collaborating closely with railway authorities, EPC contractors, and maintenance teams to ensure flawless operational reliability.
From high-speed passenger corridors and deep-tunnel urban metro systems to heavy-haul freight and industrial crane lines, RMTS solutions ensure long-term structural integrity and optimum joint smoothness.
RMTS maintains enduring partnerships with leading metallurgical research institutes, national laboratories, and academic universities to pioneer next-generation thermite welding chemistry and automated tooling.
Pioneering high-temperature reaction vessels designed for maximum safety, clean slag separation, and superior steel casting purity.
Our disposable One-Shot Crucible system integrates high-density refractory materials with an automated self-tapping thimble mechanism. This technology eliminates manual tapping errors, prevents moisture absorption, and significantly shortens track possession windows during high-frequency metro maintenance shifts.
Engineered for high-volume track construction depots and recurring maintenance depots, our multi-use crucible bodies feature premium magnesite and alumina linings capable of enduring dozens of superheated exothermic reactions without structural degradation.

Delivering high-performance aluminothermic joints across critical commercial, municipal, and industrial transportation lifelines.
In aluminothermic field operations, each completed weld requires a dedicated consumable kit composed of a thermit portion, precision sand mould, sealing luting sand, and a high-temperature chemical ignitor (1 weld = 1 set of consumables).
For large-scale infrastructure planning, project procurement quantities can be accurately estimated. For instance, on a 10km double-track railway constructed with standard 12.5m rail lengths, the requirement calculation is formulated as:
RMTS provides complete batch consistency, guaranteeing that each batch of thermit powder maintains exact caloric reaction curves and matching chemical properties across thousands of continuous joints.
Over 20 years of progressive engineering mastery guiding field crews to flawless joint quality.
Aluminum thermite welding utilizes exothermic reduction of iron oxides by aluminum powder to generate liquid superheated steel (over 2,400°C), fusing rail ends into a seamless metallurgical bond.
Rail ends must be degreased, de-rusted, and geometrically aligned with crown elevation. The standardized rail gap must be strictly calibrated to 26 ± 2 mm prior to mold mounting.
Thermit welding materials react violently or fail in the presence of moisture. All welding portions, molds, and tools must be strictly shielded from rain, humidity, and damp ballast during operations.
Consumables must be stored off concrete floors on wooden pallets within well-ventilated, humidity-controlled warehouses to preserve chemical reactivity and sand mold binder integrity.
RMTS provides turnkey solutions including welding kits, preheating burners, alignment rulers, hydraulic shears, rail profile grinders, and digital weld test equipment for complete project assurance.
We deploy senior welding inspectors to conduct classroom theory, test track welding trials, and ultrasonic testing (UT) certification for local engineering teams in the Philippines.
High-efficiency mechanical solutions for rapid rail shearing, joint alignment, ballast compaction, and rail web drilling.
Comprehensive thermite welding materials and high-precision mechanical equipment manufactured to international railway standards.
