Strukton Rail conducted 1,700 metres of maintenance tamping work on the basis of correction data produced by Eurailscout’s UFM 120 measurement train. The work was carried out on the Amsterdam – Utrecht section. This is the first time that maintenance tamping work was performed this way. The results are positive. With this innovation Strukton Rail contributes to increasingly more effective maintenance of available track.
Eurailscout’s UFM 120 is a multifunctional measurement and inspection vehicle. The UFM 120 measures track geometry, rail profiles and overhead lines. It also makes continuous digital video recordings of the rail’s surface and the track’s environment.
This project was made possible through the European cooperative project In2Rail, one of the lighthouse project of the European innovation programme Shift2Rail, in which Strukton Rail is an associated member. Strukton Rail worked closely with Eurailscout, Geocon and DGRI to carry out the project.
