Train and wagon cleaning in North Macedonia

Specialized cleaning of railway wagons, rail tank wagons and locomotives. Washing of tank interiors after unloading, removal of chemical, petroleum and food residues, biological neutralization of H2S. Work on the track at railway freight yards. 17 years of experience, since 2009.

Cleaning of railway wagons
and rail tank wagons

Cleaning of railway trains and wagons is one of the most demanding industrial jobs — working with pressurized rail tank wagons, locomotives, tanks and railway freight yards requires certified personnel, atmospheric testing before entry and strict adherence to LOTO procedures. Our team holds all the required certificates and has 17+ years of experience working with the largest railway systems in North Macedonia.

We work with Railways of North Macedonia, OKTA, private rail operators, oil refineries and chemical plants. We schedule the work during planned maintenance (scheduled shutdowns) — when the system is stopped anyway, so production isn't disrupted. We have experience with every cargo class: from petroleum products to food-grade liquids.

We pay particular attention to work involving chemicals and hazardous substances — a complete procedure for neutralization, decontamination and ADR/RID transport of hazardous waste. All materials are disposed of at licensed sites, with complete documentation for statutory inspection.

Questions
we are asked most often

Do you work on the track, or do the wagons have to be in a depot?
We work directly at railway freight yards — our mobile equipment (high-pressure pumps, sealed wastewater tanks, generators) comes to the wagons. The wagons don't have to be in a depot.
How long does it take to clean a rail tank wagon?
A standard rail tank wagon (60 m³) — 2–4 hours per wagon, depending on the cargo. A train of 10 wagons — 1–2 days.
What happens to the wastewater after washing?
The wastewater is transported in ADR tankers to a licensed hazardous waste treatment plant — we give the client complete disposal documentation (DKO forms).
Do you work to the RID standard (rail ADR)?
Yes — complete procedures compliant with the RID convention. Our team has ADR + RID training for every cargo class.
Can you clean a rail tank wagon that carried chemicals before it switches to food products?
Yes — that's our speciality. We carry out deep rinsing, neutralization, sampling and microbiological testing. The client receives a cleanliness certificate before reloading.
