Today, practically all railway companies have adopted continuous rail technology.

Obtaining continuous rail consists of two phases:

1. Electric welding process, conducted usually in fixed facilities to obtain for long rails 144 to 288 m. long. 
2. Aluminothermic welding process "in situ" of single rails (18/36 m) or long rails (144/288 m).
 

This aluminothermic welding process has a series of advantages:

• It can be carried out “in situ” simply and efficiently.
• It requires minimum equipment.
• It does not require major external power sources.

These advantages make this process the most suitable for maintenance work.
