Remote track Monitoring is an innovative monitoring technique that can be used to assess track quality determining if the track is deteriorating. The same process can be used to understand if structures have moved due to work activities nearby. Remote monitoring is used on a large number of projects and has been used to great effect on the Crossrail project. Due to the large scale excavation works the surrounding infrastructure require monitoring as this could create structural failure or/and effect the alignment of track. Remote monitoring for all rail disciplines has been championed by Network Rail as it is a cost effective, accurate and safe way of monitoring asset degradation. With limited access time across many of the networks remote monitoring is an appealing quicker alternative to conventional methods.

Remote Track Monitoring
Services Railtech Innovations offer….
Tilt & Displacement monitoring via sensors
We use tilt sensors to monitor the influences such as loading, settlement or subsidence in the vicinity of railway infrastructure assets. This method is ideal for areas where access is limited, as once installed the data gathered can be transmitted via a mesh radio system on an hourly basis ensuring any movement is captured immediately. Major benefits to this system include, low maintenance, quick and easy to set up, compact in size and hugely reliable.
Automated Track Monitoring
For when large numbers of measurements need to be taken within a short period of time and with limited access, it is often possible (and more practical) to install an automated total station monitoring system. Our equipment of choice is the latest Leica Nova TM50 Monitoring Station which is the most state of the art system on the market. Key feature is the possibility to stream high quality live video when a movement tolerance is triggered.
