Digital Solutions for Track Assessment

Throughout the world railways from Light Rail to Heavy Haul freight are battling the balance of maintenance and safety of their track, vehicles and the availability of these assets. Due to rising costs, limited maintenance schedules and increased traffic, loads and ridership, railways can no longer depend on subjective visual inspection techniques to plan and optimize maintenance of their key assets and reduce risk.

Management decisions today demand accurate metrics on the rate of degradation of their track and maintenance procedures to implement condition-based maintenance techniques as well as plan for future long term capital expenditures.

KLD Labs’ track assessment technology and analysis tools enables railways around the world to raise the level of information from the track inspector to management’s desktop. We offer a wide variety of automated and portable measurement systems for assessment of the wear of rails, their cant (inclination), gauge, surface condition and other track geometry parameters. Please view the rest of our webpage for currently deployed technology that is helping railways around the world better manage their assets and if you require a specific application that you do not see please feel free to Contact KLD Labs for advice on a technical solution.
