Track Measurement and Analysis
Track Geometry
Our Geometrical Rail Measurement analyses the rail based on a variety of physical parameters, allowing rail operators to accurately plan their maintenance operations. Parameters including track gauge, alignment and twists are tested for conformity to network standards and specifications.
Geometrical Rail Measurement product overview
Geometrical rail measurement is a full-track railway inspection solution designed to assess track geometry and identify deviations that may impact safety, ride quality, and long-term railway infrastructure integrity. By continuously measuring key geometric parameters, it supports proactive railway maintenance strategies and informed asset management. Identifying points of undulatory wear on the rail head highlights where rail grinding actions are required to prevent further deterioration. This data is displayed in real time on the inspection machine’s control panel and integrated into a comprehensive report for railway operators and infrastructure managers.
- Detect railway track geometry defects before they lead to accelerated rail and track deterioration
- Measure track gauge, cant, alignment, twist, top, and undulatory wear along the railway line
- Optimise railway maintenance planning through targeted, data-driven interventions
- Improve ride quality and railway asset performance by maintaining track geometry within defined tolerances
Our products
Pandrol’s Track Geometry Trolley is a dedicated device for recording track gauge, cant, twist, distance, and GPS positioning of the track. It has been designed to be quickly and easily assembled on-site without the need for tools, instantly providing live data and allowing rapid identification of problems in the track.
Track Geometry Trolley
The gauges have been designed with a sprung gauging foot, with all measurements being displayed on the end of the gauge, ensuring accurate measurements and minimising user error
