Transport solutions


Unitsky String Technologies Inc. offers uST Transport & Infrastructure Solutions that can find a variety of applications
The company develops, designs, manufactures and tests light rail uST Transport & Infrastructure Complexes in overpass design. They can be used in a number of sectors. The key of them are city and intercity passenger transportation, transit across hostile terrain, and cargo transportation.
Passenger and cargo steel-wheeled electric cars (uPods) travel above the ground on a string rail overpass in automatic mode at a speed of up to 150 km/h
Key applications
uST Technology is more safe, efficient, environmentally friendly and affordable as compared to the majority of known transport complexes
Conformity to international standards, maximum safety and high energy efficiency are the UST’s benchmarks in the development of its product
Cost and duration
The construction cost of the transport overpass of uST Complex, given equal natural, climatic and infrastructural conditions, would be:
Given a variety of factors affecting the technical and economic features, the exact cost of each specific uST complex (and the cost of 1 km) can be determined only through pre-investment feasibility studies. The real cost can vary depending on such factors as:
The cost of uST transport & infrastructure complex includes
The operating expenses (OPEX) for the operation of uST Transport & Infrastructure Complex are also significantly lower than in conventional solutions (monorail, high-speed tram, underground and overhead subway, ropeways, etc.). They depend on the following factors:
Roadmap
Feasibility and Pre-engineering Study

Certification
Designing
12–18 months
Construction and installation works, delivery of equipment and rolling stock
12–18 months
Start-up, personnel training, and commissionings
3–6 months
The design and construction can be carried out in parallel, if it does not contradict the legislation
Unconditional guarantee
24 months
The warranty for the components of the transport and infrastructure complex will be stipulated by the contract
