Rail infrastructure projects can often run into unexpected delays and cost overruns due to hidden issues beneath the track surface.
Potholing, or subsurface investigation, is a crucial step in the early planning stages. Using specialist equipment, we perform precise undertrack (below rail) assessments, analyzing key factors such as ballast quality, track formation and moisture levels. This work help minimize risk, streamline project execution and deliver superior outcomes for track renewal projects.
What We Do
We perform compaction testing and moisture sampling to gather critical data, enabling precise and reliable project planning.
Our team evaluates ballast quality and contamination levels, while accurately measuring sleeper depths to determine the ideal ballast requirements for optimal track performance.
We pinpoint and map track assets to deliver accurate data for efficient management during renewal projects, ensuring every element is accounted for.
Specialist Equipment for Accurate Results
We use state-of-the-art equipment to carry out potholing with precision and efficiency.
Our hi-rail machinery is perfectly suited to perform this critical work, ensuring reliability and effectiveness.
While the process can be invasive, it guarantees absolute accuracy, timely delivery and comprehensive data collection, enabling informed decision-making.
Our potholing services provide rail asset managers with valuable insights, empowering them to optimise maintenance and renewal strategies for improved outcomes and long-term success.
