Our procedures involve inspection of the following parameters:
Plateway are capable of conducting the inspections with an alternative method. A remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) can be utilised which removes the requirement of additional human resources and safety training. Combination of aerial imagery and Global Navigation Satellite Systems provides a great advantage to the inspections. Not only an RPA is capable of handling confined, difficult to reach areas, but it is also capable of staying away from dangerous area by utlising a zoom camera.
Plateway utilises their in-house MiniProf equipment which enables fast and accurate measurements and the analysis of recorded data.
The tool is used for planned maintenance, life cycle wear monitoring, wear prediction, trend forecast, life expectancy and more.
Our equipment is suitable for narrow, standard and wide gauge tracks, as well as switch and crossings.
