The company was founded in December 1989 and began operating, providing weed control services for the railway sector, as early as the spring of 1990.

Conception, design and construction of the Computerised Weed Control Train (TDC500), a technologically advanced solution designed to improve the safety and effectiveness of weed control operations, whilst reducing environmental impact.

Thanks to the proven expertise and patented technology of the TDC 550, Tecnofer has developed an innovative approach to more effective and sustainable vegetation management in the railway sector.

With the design and construction of the SALT 400 system (Automated Railway Tunnel Cleaning System), Tecnofer is introducing an innovative solution that sets new standards in terms of safety and hygiene in tunnel work environments.

Drawing on its extensive experience in designing machinery for the railway sector and the expertise gained in a highly specialised niche market, Tecnofer has established Tecnofer Engineering, a new division dedicated to the development and optimisation of operational procedures, as well as the design of innovative solutions for maintenance requirements.

The SAI 400 has been developed: a dedicated system for automated dust extraction in tunnels, capable of significantly reducing response times and eliminating the need for ground-based operators. The system enables the extraction of large quantities of fine dust throughout the entire tunnel, including the track bed.

Drawing on its practical experience and responding to customer needs, Tecnofer has designed a new SALT 700 tunnel cleaning machine, capable of boosting productivity and reducing environmental impact. The high-precision mechanised arms ensure more effective and consistent cleaning throughout the tunnel.

The company has adopted a new corporate structure. By capitalising on its valuable technological expertise and thanks to a new management team, it aims to tackle ambitious challenges and consolidate its market leadership in vegetation control and tunnel cleaning services.

Tecnofer has designed and built, entirely in-house and using its own staff, the first compact train capable of combining vacuum cleaning and washing in railway tunnels, introducing an innovation that redefines efficiency and safety standards in the sector.
