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
3d monitoring control station


Call Nick Blenkarn or Bob Hutchings at Severn Partnership to discuss your track monitoring requirements.

UTX Monitoring movement on railway lines



Our monitoring teams were called up to install a series of targets the monitor movement or live railway lines during the drilling of an undertrack crossing (UTX) near Kidderminster. Our cost efficient monitoring solution can be used to give real time movement reports, calculate displacement in x,y,z, rail twist, track CANT and absolute level. Survey teams will monitor movement while the drilling takes place from a place of safety and without being affected by the zone of influence.

For more information, call our Survey Manager - Bob Hutchings (0844 880 8247) or e-mail webenquiry@severnpartnership.co.uk
