Real time monitoring for track movement 24/7

Severn Partnership was approached by Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd. to offer a
proposal for the monitoring of rails, for movement, during the piling works for a new footbridge adjacent to the railway fence-line.

The proposal needed to adhere to Network Rail Standard NR/BS/LI/045 ‘Monitoring track over or adjacent to Civil Engineering works: procedure and intervention levels.’

The extent of the monitoring, covered 90m of track length over four rails, with prisms located at 3m centres (124 prisms in total).  Readings being taken 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - feeding back data over an Internet link to our office.

Benefits of Automated technique:
  • Minimised on site manpower (security guard only required)
  • Cheaper overall than manned monitoring
  • Real time results, with reports on twist, CANT, gauge & movement
  • Client reports on demand
  • Piece of mind !
24/7 observations - unmanned
