Cordel announces a significant contract expansion in Mexico as it is selected to provide AI-enhanced rail inspection services for Tren Maya. The contract significantly enhances revenue visibility across FY24 and FY25.
Cordel's high-tech rail assessment will enable better vegetation detection, ballast monitoring, clearance assessments, and track spacing analysis. The data will help ETD perform targeted maintenance and vegetation management while reducing ecological disruption during construction and operations.
Overall, the new partnership will help ETD achieve an environmentally responsible, safe rail system. The contract will be a valuable proof of concept that should open Cordel to further opportunities in Latin America.
Today's announcement comes days after Cordel announced its first contract in the Middle East valued at £370k.
